The week just keeps getting better and better for Kyle Brassington.

Just two days after claiming his first ATP point, and with it a world singles ranking, the 20-year-old home club member and partner Jonathan Kinsella have won through to the semi-finals of the doubles in the $15,000 Men's Futures tournament at Ilkley.

That assures Brassington of a world doubles ranking and, regardless of the result of tomorrow afternoon's last-four encounter against the unseeded Daniel King-Turner (New Zealand) and Fabrice Martin (France), he will take home six doubles computer points.

Brassington and Kinsella, who were among three British wild cards in the draw, defeated fourth seeds Romano Frantzen (Netherlands) and Enrico Iannuzzi (Italy) 6-7, (7-9), 6-1, 6-4 and followed that up today by beating Luke Campbell (Britain) and Frederik Sletting-Johnsen (Norway) 6-3, 6-7 (2-7), 6-3.

British interest in the men's singles may have ended with the quarter-final defeat of Tom Rushby to top seed Robert Smeets (Australia) 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-2, and the 6-4, 6-4 victory of third seed Andrew Coelho (Australia) over Edward Corrie.

But there are five Britons through to tomorrow's quarter-finals in the $10,000 women's tournament.

They are top seed Olivia Scarfi, third seed Elizabeth Thomas, fifth seed Julia Bone and unseeded duo Kirsty Woolley and Tara Moore, who isn't 15 until Monday.

Welsh teenager Scarfi faces South African qualifier Lizaan Du Plessis, Thomas meets sixth seed Alenka Hubacek (Australia), Woolley is up against fourth seed Jessica Moore (Australia), and Bone plays Moore.

The men's winner is bound to be from Down Under with Coelho facing fellow Aussie, second seed Adam Feeney, and Smeets meeting King-Turner. Feeney put out the holder and sixth seed Julian Maes (France) 6-4, 6-4.

Meanwhile, Ilkley's last hope in the Tropicana British Tour went out when Andrew Denny was beaten 6-3, 6-1 in the quarter-finals by fourth seed Chris Llewellyn from Preston.

Denny, 18, from Bingley, had qualified by winning three matches and had then beaten fellow qualifier Daniel Trainor in the first-round proper.

But Llewellyn was too strong and too precise for the former Bradford Grammar School pupil, who is also a member at Heaton.

Denny, who now plans to take a gap-year and attend a university in California in the autumn of 2008, said: "I haven't played much recently but it has been a good week for me and it was nice to qualify, although I didn't play well in this match - probably because he didn't let me."

Nicole Peterson, also of Heaton, is through to the semi-finals of the girls' under-16 singles after defeating Hetty Alton 7-6 (7-3), 6-1.
