L32:  (8) Finn Bass WR 787 defeated Duarte Vale (POR) WR 1200 by 4 & 4

 Duarte Vale was a top junior last year, ex JWR 14, far higher than Finn

He decided to go the US college route. 

Interesting to see how things pan out.

Well done Finn - wins have been a bit short on the ground for him recently.....

 Finn had lost in the first round of his previous four tournaments, and against Brits mainly (Tom, Isaac, Billy...) so great to break that run.

The boy he plays next, Brooksby, is a junior, age 17, with a JWR of 174. Given he won by retirement, too, that's got to be hopeful.....

QF:  Sebastian Korda (USA) WR 847 (CH = 842 in January) vs (8) Finn Bass WR 787

Korda beat the Italian top seed, Liam Caruana (WR 509/CH = 375 in February), in three sets in the first round...

Korda obviously is the former world number one in juniors, and currently JWR 3, age 18 (born 2000).
He won the Aussie Open this year, got to the semis at Roland Garros but unexpectedly lost in the first round at WImbledon.

As above, didn't reckon Finn's chances at all, but he put in a decent score:

QF: Sebastian Korda (USA) WR 847, JWR 3 (ex JWR 1) def. (8) Finn Bass WR 787 6-3 6-4
