Bit disappointing as he looked like he could have broken in the opponent's previous service game.

Jack was beaten by 4-6 6-4 6-3

In the bit i saw of Jack's quarter-final he didn't appear to be at the level he displayed yesterday, perhaps affected by playing two matches in the day. The semis are

SF

(1) Juncheng Shang (CHN) or (11) Jerome Kym (SUI) v Victor Lilov (USA)
(Q) Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg (FRA) v Samir Banerjee (USA)

The match between Juncheng (Jerry) Shang and Jerome Kym has just gone to a decider. The French qualifier is having a remarkable grasscourt season, having to qualify at both Roehampton (where he beat Patrick and Lui before losing to Jack) and Wimbledon

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Such a shame Jack didn't get through. He pulled out of the doubles. I wonder if he had a slight niggle or something that maybe hampered him in addition to the multiple matches on one day.

As zoo tennis says, if you've got to play three matches in one day, this is way to do it:

Colette Lewis:

After his doubles victory this afternoon, putting him in the semis, Banerjee has earned two singles and one doubles win today in a grand total of two hours and and 36 minutes. Total games lost: 8

Jack confirmed as Colette reports:

"Pinnington Jones admitted that his tank was empty down 1-4 in the third.

"My body was struggling a bit in my second round match, and I knew it was going to be a big ask, two matches," said Pinnington Jones. "That's why I withdrew from doubles yesterday. I was expecting it to be tough and physical and grass requires a different type of load. Unfortunately, I wasn't physically at my best, but I don't think he was either, and I think he just managed his game better. My quad started cramping at 4-1 and I was pretty much done there, playing great tennis, on fire sort of thing, so I was just trying to enjoy the crowd and atmosphere for as long as possible out there."

The top seed won the last quarter-final, eliminating the biggest server left in the competition (Kym fired down 11 aces against him with a top serve speed of 226km/h). Shand and Lilov are currently on court (2*-3 with Shand serving)

We have the first all American final since 2014 (Noah Rubin v Stefan Kozlov). Jack's conqueror brushed aside the top seed while yesterday's speed merchant (Banerjee) enthralled the No. 1 crowd with his personality and all-round game. The French qualifier had a bigger serve, but also more erratic and the match concluded with his 12th double fault.

SF

Victor Lilov (USA) d. (1) Juncheng Shang (CHN) 6-3 6-1
Samir Banerjee (USA) d. (Q) Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg (FRA) 7-6(3) 4-6 6-2

It is Samir Banerjee who emerges with the title deservedly from the little I saw. It reminded me of the previous all-American final, with neither player having big weapons, but Banerjee certainly moves very well around the court and has plenty of variety. It could be, like Rubin and Kozlov, the pair have a struggle to make it to Tour level (unlike the three subsequent winners Opelka, Shapovalov and Davidovich Fokina)
