Wolverhampton teenage tennis star Henry Searle does it again as he reaches Wimbledon semi-finals
Wolverhampton's Henry Searle has reached the semi-finals of the boys' singles at Wimbledon.
The 17-year-old overcame Brazil's Joao Fonseca 7-6, 6-3 at the All England Club to continue his superb run in SW19.
Searle defeated Bolivian top seed Juan Carlos Prado Angelo in straight sets in the first round, and has not looked back, seeing off India's Manas Dhamne in the second round on Tuesday, France's Arthur Gea on Wednesday and now Fonseca in the quarter-finals.
After a nip-and-tuck first set featuring no break points, Searle raced into a 6-0 lead in the tie-break before closing out the set at the fourth time of asking.
And he secured the only break of the match in the eighth game of the second set before serving out the match to love.
It is the second consecutive grand slam quarter-final Searle has reached, having enjoyed a run to the last eight of the French Open at Roland Garros in June.
