Go Sam !

I think Sam is a bit of a hidden gem.....

I'm a fan of Arthur, of course, too, and Harry and Oscar have lots of qualities to like. But Sam is not one of the favoured few, as far as I can tell, but has a lot of talent.

Well done, boys - what a nice set of results - and all in two sets, too

NB Slightly surprising that Blu Baker, who's entered for the US Open juniors, is choosing not to play here but to play the G3 in Mexico instead. It's hard court, the same, so no real difference I guess. But he's obviously choosing to play down, it's not the first time he's done so, it's presumably a coaching decision.

Arthur has continued the trend for straight sets wins today (6-2 6-4) but unfortunately Sam was on the receiving end (1-6 3-6)

And Harry W also comes up trumps, winning 6-3 6-3

But Matthis loses in three.

We've got three GB lads in the SFs of the doubles too, Oscar and Harry playing together and Arthur playing with a Hungarian boy.

I think they went inside to complete Harry's match because of rain, and he just lost out on a maiden final. Doubles later for Harry, but Arthur cruises in the other semi to his first Grade 1 final

Micah Braswell (USA) d. (12) Harry Wendelken 6-3 0-6 6-4

Doubles SF

Hanzlik/Kittay (USA) v (8) Wightman/Wendelken
(2) Fery/Makk (GBR/HUN) d. (3) Lingua Lavallen/Torres (ARG) 6-3 6-2
