And Hannah and de Zeeuw take the win very easily (mainly thanks to de Zeeuw, it has to be said

)

So into the SFs ......

Yes, a comfortable win - they look a good pair.

It will be the world number 1 junior for Charlie, who has also won a couple of M15s this year to take his ATP ranking up to 741, the highest in the draw. Meanwhile Charlie's nemesis in College Park Rafael Jodar has just edged out the American second seed on Armstrong so Mimi should be on soon.

Great match from mika, some lovely hitting there.

Mimis match on the other hand is pretty messy. The odd point of decent hitting, but mostly errors. Hope she can up her level and take this - she definitely has weapons. I

Mimi was broken serving for the first set at 5-4 and had to save a breakpoint at 6-5 but eventually held to take the set 7-5

Guaranteed representation in 3 of the 4 semi-finals, but not 4

I think the girl with the bandaged leg is going to win.

Mimi recovered from 0-4 to 4-4 in set 2, saved setpoints at 4-5 but was broken at 5*-6 so it is 7-5 5-7 from Mimi's point of view

This match has mostly been on Mimis racket imo, Mimi hit 23 unforced errors to 14 in that set. 47% first serves in also didnt help, as mimi is winning over 90% of the points on her first serve. Chance missed there to win in two. Regroup and come back firing in set 3 Mimi!
