Oli clocks a win, possibly helped by poor weather leading to all matches today being indoors.

It's turning out to be a good tournament for Oli. To make it a great one, he will have to find a way past his nemesis from the last two weeks Nathan Trouve went on to reach the final on both occasions.

Such a good tournament for Oliver. He's dropped a few points after reaching his career high of 12 in January this year but reaching the final here takes him nearly back to that ranking.

Anyone who happens to be in Brazil can watch the two singles finals on Nsports channel 566. Others should be able to watch on their YouTube channel. Proceedings have started with the girls final (defending champion Mayu Crossley currently trails Kaitlyn Rolls 5-3) Oli's match follows.

Kaitlyn won in straight sets (writing notes at change of ends rather like the Australian high jumper Nicola Olyslagers) and Oli has just started
