A good tournament for Ben, who is also through to the doubles final. It is a strong semi-final line-up with 4 of the top 5 seeds, led by top seed and former Les Petits As champion Thijs Boogaard. However to play him Ben would need to beat a Swiss boy who had the upper hand when they met in a J100 final in November.
