Next match could be tough for Matilda. Her Hungarian opponent is yet to drop a set in her first ITF, having won her last 5 Tennis Europe events at under 14 and under 16 level

Boys QF

(1) Rahul Dhokia v Osman Torski (GER)

Girls QF

(WC) Amarissa Kiara Toth (HUN) v (16) Matilda Mutavdzic

DavidC · Tennis legend

As feared Matilda struggled against the Hungarian prodigy (and doubles partner). Rahul lost as well, leaving doubles for the pair of them

Boys QF

Osman Torski (GER) d. (1) Rahul Dhokia 7-5 6-0

Girls QF

(WC) Amarissa Kiara Toth (HUN) d. (16) Matilda Mutavdzic 6-0 6-1

The weather has delayed things but Rahul+ won his doubles QF yesterday and started his SF.

That leaves him with the SF to complete and, if he wins, the final to play today.

Matilda+ also have their SF and, potentially, their final too.

Both our players have made the dubs finals, for later today:

SF Boys: Rahul DHOKIA (GBR) / Nino EHRENSCHNEIDER (GER) [1] def. Luca NARDI (ITA) / Alessio TRAMONTIN (ITA) 3-6 6-2 [10-6]

SF Girls: Matilda MUTAVDZIC (GBR) / Amarissa Kiara TOTH (HUN) def. Daria KRASNOVA (RUS) / Alina SHCHERBININA (RUS) [1] 6-1 3-6 [10-8]
