SF:  (1) Jacob Fearnley WR 96 vs Luca Nardi (ITA) WR 251 (CH = 67 in March last year)

Nardi has just beaten CD's favourite player (Michael Mmoh/4; CH 151) in straight sets (4 & 4).

 I saw Jake beat Nardi on grass at Ilkley in June - Nardi took the opening set but Jake came back and dominated. It was on grass but felt Jake just had too much for him.  

My report on the Ilkley thread said this at the time:

Jake - started off very error prone and not seeming focused and a bit tight. Something clicked earlier in set two when he broke and went on a ten game rampage. He changed his whole game, attacked, positive, approached the net and took control. Kept it going until just near the end, stuttered a little with a double fault or two but regained control and saw it over the line. It was a good performance and Ill be interested as he progresses against maybe tougher grass court opponents. nardi has beaten Djokovic before as the MC said so
