Because of injury, 'little fave' Sonay only has four counters.

And she has just made the QFs here, so that's 20 points extra (and counting)

Which is all good news. And hopefully a sign on good health and form pre the grass season.

Arthur has also won, although his 20 points will only replace an 18 point-er so there's not much difference, but all steps in the right direction - as said, it's great to see how's he come up out of left field, and with his sporting and French background he's a slightly different story from the main batch.

Blu too has won but, as David says, as he continues to play down, that's not really making much impact on his ranking (although it could be a strategic decision for his game, indeed we assume it is, so there might be benefits down the line)

Matilda still to play.

And the Brits this morning are carrying on making short work of it (although Arthur's tricky match isn't in yet)

However, the girls and Blu have all been expeditive, which is especially impressive from Sonay (where, as above, the points will be big extra counters for her). And Arthur is obviously making a match of it

QF

(7) Sonay Kartal def (4) Kristina Dmitruk (BLR) 6-1 6-1

(2) Matilda Mutavdzic def. Saara Orav (EST) 6-2 6-1


QF

(1) Blu Baker def. Tomas Luis (POR) 6-1 6-2

And Arthur makes it a clean sweep, deciding it's not such a tricky match after all, winning 4 & 1

Sonay plays her doubles partner, who seems to specialise in gaining points at Grade 3 level. Arthur plays someone whose name looks like a cross between two Grand Slam champions, and although he doesn't yet have a record to match those two he has a high win percentage this year.

Boys SF

(1) Blu Baker v (3) Marat Sharipov (RUS)
(5) Arthur Fery v (2) Alexandr Binda (RUS)

Girls SF

(1) Weronika Baszak (POL) v (7) Sonay Kartal
Laura Hetaranta (FIN) v (2) Matilda Mutavdzic

Arthur comes through a really tight match, beating the second seed. We only need Blu to win now to have a clean sweep in the finals:

And in another tight three-setter, Blu comes through too.

So, indeed, we have all four finalists
