Harry Huang and Nadeem Dalvi each reached the final eight of the lads’s singles on the Latvia Worldwide in Riga.
Seeded seventh within the Latvia capital, Huang began his marketing campaign with a stable 21-18 21-6 victory over Tino Daoudal in spherical one.
Huang then defeated one other Frenchman, Yanis Gaudin, 21-18 21-9 earlier than dropping 17-21 21-19 21-14 to Israeli fourth seed Daniil Dubovenko in a hard-fought quarter-final encounter.
In the meantime, Dalvi was in spectacular kind from the opening spherical, surprising third seed Elias Bracke to start his marketing campaign.
Dalvi defeated the Belgian 21-16 21-17 to start out his event in superb fashion, backing that up with a 21-19 22-20 over France’s Simon Baron-Vezilier in spherical two.
However, very similar to Huang, his quest resulted in a three-game defeat within the final eight, Aria Dinata of Croatia proving too sturdy in a 21-17 16-21 21-17 triumph.
Elsewhere, Neil Bhabuta got here all over qualifying to succeed in the second spherical in Riga.
After a profitable qualifying marketing campaign, Bhabuta defeated Paul Tournefier 21-18 23-21 earlier than dropping 21-19 22-20 to a different Frenchman, Yohan Barbieri.
Within the girls’s singles, English gamers Lisa Curtin and Freya Redfearn have been drawn in opposition to one another in an opening-round encounter.
And it was Curtin – promoted from qualifying – who prevailed, profitable the all-English encounter 21-13 21-9, although she was then crushed 21-13 21-11 in her subsequent match by seventh seed Anna Tatranova.
