The tournament is drawing to a close. With top seeds living up to expectations, impressive performances, and a few surprises along the way, the young talents in the draw have once again put on a high-quality show.
 

Action began with a fiercely contested match between Cyprus’s Anastasis Mosaikos (seeded No. 3) and Australia’s Christopher Manton. After dropping the opening set, Mosaikos fought back to take the second but ultimately fell in the decider (6-2, 5-7, 6-3). He will face top seed Rafael Papoian in the semi-finals; the Russian advanced under unusual circumstances following the retirement of Loris Da Silva, the last remaining Frenchman in the draw.
 

Shortly after, Syria’s Muhamad Eyad Saleem delivered a rock-solid performance against Denmark’s Philip Dianati. Showing greater consistency in rallies, he won in two controlled sets (6-4, 6-1) and will now face Enzo Brito for a spot in the final. The Swede—seeded No. 6—defeated Brazil’s David Lichtnow; after a convincing first set, he had to work hard in the second, eventually clinching it in a tie-break (6-2, 7-6) to book his place in the semi-final against the Syrian.

In the girls' draw, South Korea’s Seohyeon Kim (seeded No. 8) got the quarter-finals off to a flying start by decisively beating France’s Julia Salamon (6-2, 6-0). This victory sets up a semi-final clash with China’s Ketong Guo, who also produced a commanding performance to reach the final four, defeating France’s Neirouz Godhbane (6-2, 6-1).
 

Moments later, Italy’s Olivia Conticello (seeded No. 1) lived up to her status as the tournament favorite. Focused from start to finish, she easily defeated Sweden's Stephani Degac 6-1, 6-2. She will next face Latvia's Tina Jansone, who overcame Bulgaria's Maya Micheva in straight sets (6-3, 6-2).

 

High-stakes doubles showdowns
 

The doubles semi-finals have also concluded. In the girls' draw, the Bustillos-De Carvalho duo got off to a strong start before seeing Koreans Seohyeon Kim and Hee-Tee Kim turn the match around with a perfectly executed super tie-break (3-6, 6-2, 10-5). They will face top seeds Bontin and Jansone in the final; the latter pair lived up to their status by defeating Caressa and Conticello in straight sets (7-5, 6-3).

In the boys' draw, fourth seeds Dianati and Juvonen delivered a composed performance to eliminate Choi and Nimnuankul, 6-2, 6-4. In the final, they will take on tournament favorites Li and Mosaikos, who had to rely on their experience to overcome Basilone and Di Leva in two tight sets (7-6, 7-5).
 

As the tournament nears its conclusion, the favorites remain well-positioned, even though several underdogs have managed to secure a spot in the final four. The singles semi-finals and doubles finals promise another day of intense competition.
