January 4, 2014 - The focus switched in Sheffield today - after two days of constant action across several courts, the quarter-finals at the Abbeydale and Hallamshire clubs took place largely (at Abbeydale exclusively) on one court, from 09.30 until it's done.

At Abbeydale the day started with wins for the top seeds in the four categories being played there - Boys U19 and U13, Girls U19 and U15 - and some 12 hours later ended with Ahmad Alsaraj joining his younger brother, who won earlier in the day at Hallamshire, in the semi-finals.

In between there was lots of drama at both venues, but the standout moment at Abbeydale was George Parker's win over 3/4 seed Richie Fallows in a tempestuous all-English U19 battle.

In the Girls U19 it will be Egypt's top four seeds who contest the semi-finals, while the Boys U19 semis will feature players from four different countries.
