Only James left now, with a nice win over the second seed....

QF:

Siddhant BANTHIA (IND) [1] 6-3 3-6 6-3 Jacob FEARNLEY (GBR) [7]

Dev JAVIA (IND) 6-7(7) 6-3 6-1 (q) Felix GILL (GBR)

James STORY (GBR) [6] 6-4 4-6 6-1 Karan SRIVASTAVA (IND) [2]

But all four are through to the doubles final

Semifinal

Felix GILL (GBR) / Finn MURGETT (GBR) 6-4 6-2 Dev JAVIA (IND) / Abhimanyu VANNEMREDDY (IND) [3]

Jacob FEARNLEY (GBR) / James STORY (GBR) [2] 6-4 2-6 [10-5] Sai Karteek Reddy GANTA (IND) / Naithaolin Calvin GOLMEI (IND)

Dubs FINAL:

Felix GILL (GBR) / Finn MURGETT (GBR) def. Jacob FEARNLEY (GBR) / James STORY (GBR) [2] Retired

It's not the way you'd want it but well done to Felix and Finn anyway.

And there's a decent chance that it's not too serious but just James being careful in front of his match tomorrow - because he's made the singles final

Singles SF:

James STORY (GBR) [6] def. Ryoma MATSU****A (JPN) [8] 7-6(0) 6-2

And another one

FINAL : James STORY (GBR) [6] def. Siddhant BANTHIA (IND) [1] 6-3 4-6 6-4

That's a great title for young James. And beating the top seed and home player too. Another 2001-er who is making good strides. (And another one to add to the Corrie/Storrie/Norrie names bandwagon, although with his own Katy/Katie sort of variation)

Thrilled for James !

(and glad the withdrawal in the dubs yesterday does look as though it was purely precautionary, as thought).

Second successive ITF title for James, after one in Finland a month ago, and he stays on for the Indian G3 next week
