 Yes, two very good looking wins there. I remarked a few months ago that he seemed to finding the transition to seniors a bit tough. This is very encouraging.

 I'd be pretty sure it's Charlie given both the ATP and ITF sites have him as a proper Charlie.

 And that is excellent as well - two Brits playing each other at semis stage, that is something we will take. Jay still in the other half, as well

Good start so far.

 Feels like one of those Challengers where we have the numbers to make some sort of impact at the back end of the week

 Looks like we are making an impact in this one!biggrin

Decent effort.

 Interestingly, Tennis Abstract had put Matt as a close favourite to win this match above and also the next one. Which surprised me. 

And proved wrong, although it was v tight still

 

 

 

 I beg to differ. Just because the French feller won, does not mean the projection that Sumdog was favourite was wrong. That fails to appreciate the beauty inherent in probability.

Yes, seems a little unfair after a 7-6, 7-6 outcome to pronounce the assessment as "proved wrong"

The (almost) all-conquering Brits of Soma Bay!

QF:  (1) Jay Clarke WR 213 defeated Radu Albot (MDA) WR 448 by 6-2 6-7(3) 6-2

I feared the worst when Jay dropped that second set & almost let slip a 5-2 lead in the decider as he served for it!

SF:  (1) Jay Clarke WR 213 vs (4) Mathys Erhard (FRA) WR 316
