Charlie certainly has the hex over Ali, 3-0 now in career head to head matches. And a v good opportunity for Charlie in his semi, against the lower ranked Israeli
L16: Stuart Parker WR 552 defeated Henry Patten WR 551 by 3-6 6-3 7-6(2)

QF: (7) Billy Harris WR 383 vs Stuart Parker WR 552
Stuart has a 2-0 H2H over Billy, both in 3 sets and both in the past few weeks in Nottingham. 3rd time lucky or is it true that no one beats Billy Harris 3 times in a row? As Vitas Gerulaitus may have said
Billy up ahead 4-1 early on - no one beats Billy H three times in a row!

Had a wry chuckle at the thought that Billy or his parents might be reading your post. Obviously spurred him on

I hope he did!
He has had a good "season" this latest set of British ITF's, leads the way for wins, with only himself and Charlie left in - fwiw , Billy had 7 wins in the early block of 4 ITF's in Winter, Ali Gray got 13 wins on that occasion.
QF: Charles Broom WR 476 defeated (3) Alastair Gray WR 304 by 4 & 2

SF: Edan Leshem (ISR) WR 558 vs Charles Broom WR 476
Interesting that Leshem got through to the SF after Harrison retired at 0-4.
Billy finally finds a way past Stuart:

SF: (7) Billy Harris WR 383 vs (5) Leandro Riedi (SUI) WR 331
Reidi is rewarded with wild cards into the ATP Tour Geneva Open next week. He plays a qualifier opening round in singles and in doubles is drawn to play Jamie and Bruno.
will need to get some practice on clay though! Will this be an opportunity for Billy to take advantage of him being distracted?
