Katarzyna Piter [7] (POL) dug in deep to defeat Tamaryn Hendler [9] (BEL) in the semi-finals of the Eddie Herr Saturday.

In the tiebreak, Piter took control early and went on to take it 7-2. An intense battle continued in the third set, with Piter ultimately winning the match 4-6; 7-6(2), 6-4.

Melanie Oudin [5] USA didn’t have it much easier in her semi-final match against Simona Halep [8] (ROM). Oudin also faced an uphill battle. Taking only two games in the first set, she managed to turn things around in the second set and maintain her winning ways in the third to triumph 2-6; 6-2; 6-3.

The G18 finals is set for 9:00 am Sunday.

Domijan Upsets Dimitrov, Will Face Elias in B18 Finals
Qualifier Alex Domijan (USA) has quietly played his way into the B18 finals. The 6' 6" 16-year old secured his place in the finals with a 6-4; 6-2 upset of Grigor Dimitrov [12] (BUL) in the semis. After capitalizing on one break to win the first set, Domijan broke again early in the second set. Serving at 2-4, Dimitrov failed to get a serve in and called for the trainer. When play resumed, Domijan served it out to win 6-4; 6-2. He will play Gastao Ministro Elias [9] (POR) in the finals.

Dimitrov said he was suffering from dizziness, which he believes was the result of exhaustion. Prior to arriving at the Eddie Herr, he played two back-to-back ATP Futures tournaments in Spain. He was a qualifier in both main draws and reached the quarterfinals of one.

Gastao Beats Basic 6-3, 6-1
In the other B18 semi, Gastao Ministro Elias [9] (POR) dismissed Mirza Basic [Q] (BIH) 6-3; 6-1. Elias will face Domijan in the finals Sunday at 10:30 am.
