Charlie certainly has the hex over Ali, 3-0 now in career head to head matches. And a v good opportunity for Charlie in his semi, against the lower ranked Israeli

Stuart has a 2-0 H2H over Billy, both in 3 sets and both in the past few weeks in Nottingham. 3rd time lucky or is it true that no one beats Billy Harris 3 times in a row? As Vitas Gerulaitus may have said 

---

 Billy up ahead 4-1 early on - no one beats Billy H three times in a row!

---

 Had a wry chuckle at the thought that Billy or his parents might be reading your post. Obviously spurred him on

 I hope he did!

 

He has had a good "season" this latest set of British ITF's, leads the way for wins, with only himself and Charlie left in - fwiw , Billy had 7 wins in the early block of 4 ITF's in Winter, Ali Gray got 13 wins on that occasion.

 Reidi is rewarded with wild cards into the ATP Tour Geneva Open next week. He plays a qualifier opening round in singles and in doubles is drawn to play Jamie and Bruno. 

will need to get some practice on clay though! Will this be an opportunity for Billy to take advantage of him being distracted?

Both mens semis close, Billy in a tie break and Charlie at 5-4 but on serve

 Charlie beat Leshem in their only other encounter, here at Nottingham, just 4 weeks ago, 4 and 4.
