Mika last player standing and she and partner are a set down...

In the singles Charlie's doubles partner ended Moise Kouame's run, but he now comes up against an Italian, Lorenzo Carboni, who doesn't play juniors, but gets in on his ATP ranking. Viktor's conqueror Kaylan Bigun is in the other semi against the second seed Joel Schwaerzler, who is already in the ATP top 400. With the girls Kristina is joined by another American, Tyra Grant and two top Czechs Laura Samson and Tereza Valentova (WTA 337). Tereza easily beat top seeded Renata Jamrichova today

To summarise in the doubles:

Boys Doubles QF

(2) Cina/Sakamoto (ITA/JPN) d. (6) Frydrych/Rottgering (GBR/NED) w/o

Girls Doubles QF

(1) Kovackova/Samson (CZE) d. (7) Sonobe/Stojsavljevic (JPN/GBR) 7-5 7-6(5)
(5) Jones/Paganetti (AUS/ITA) d. (2) Klugman/Xu 6-4 7-5

Without stating the obvious 2024 Roland Garros has been a clay court reality check for British tennis.

Good luck to GB's Ruben Harris (and partner) in the boys' doubles wheelchair final today

It's an aside but the French 2009-born boy, Moise Kouame, is having an absolute blast here

He's a wildcard (obviously) and by far the youngest player

But has great poise, and loves the crowd, loves being the centre of attention

As well as having some super tennis - lots of power for a kid his age, but also some surprises

AND he's beaten the 4th seed, beaten the 14th seed, and is into the QFs.....

 Talking of players born in 2009, Kristina Penickova (one of the Penickova twins) has reached the girls singles semifinals at the age of 14. So Klugman already has players on her heels!

---

 Oh yes, I've been watching bits of some of her matches.

In fact Kristina has done better than Hannah

At age 14, the best that Hannah achieved was the QF in the US Open

At age 14, Kristina has made the SF of RG

Kristina and her twin both played the U14 Junior Wimbly event last year - and were pretty poor - neither came through the group stages, from recollection

But Kristina has grown a lot, put on muscle too, and hits a powerful shot now (not much else, it's true, but it gets you quite a long way)

 Thanks CD. Will be interesting to see her play at Wimby 

---

 Yes, I'm not expecting much (but may well be wrong  )

Even watching her this morning, she needs quite a lot of time to get set on the ball

But it's pretty impressive on clay - and she and her twin are a formidable doubles team (though her twin will have to boost her ranking a bit to get in)

 And she wasn't that far off from a place in the Roland Garros final.

 Absolutely. She ran it very close. Laura Samson had a little more variety in her game but Kristina put up a great effort.
