Liam has guaranteed at least a bronze medal, but to get silver or gold he will need to beat the top seed Richard Mitchell, who he lost to in Les Petits As (Mitchell went on to reach the final).

A lot to like in Liam's game - I enjoy watching him

He put up a very good show against the top seed today but the score was fair (Liam lost 6-3 7-6)

Liam showed resiliience in breaking back twice when the top seed served for the match, but lost out in the second set tiebreak. His body language on losing points was often not helpful in the bits I saw.

SF

(1) Richard Mitchell (SUI) d. (3) Liam Sharkey 6-3 7-6(4)

 Welcome to the board smile

I wasn't able to discover anything about his British connection - do you know anything more about that?

He ended up losing the first all-Swiss European U14 final to Jonas Waelti, winner of the Wimbledon invitational.  Perhaps the new Federer-Wawrinka rivalry?

His father is from Britain, hence the surname. Shame about the final - didn't play the same level as in previous rounds. Never easy to play your team-mate!

Jonas has a formidable reputation in Switzerland and the most professional set-up of the players in his age group.
Saw him play in Wimbledon - he beat perhaps the best two players in the world: Hotelier and Palombo. Definitely one to watch for the future.
