While Charman continues to recover from an infection, second-seeded compatriot Cassie Jackman raced to a 9-0 9-1 9-4 win over English qualifier Laura Lengthorn in just 24 minutes to reach a quarter-final clash with another English opponent Jenny Tranfield, the sixth seed. The adjacent quarter-final pairing will also be an all-English battle between fourth seed Rebecca Macree and eighth seed Vicky Botwright - a clash which, like the Jackman/Tranfield encounter, will feature one player selected this week to represent England in next month's European Championships, and the other who just missed out. Macree, who will make her debut in the forthcoming European Championships, was fully extended by Welsh qualifier Tegwen Malik before eventually triumphing 6-9 9-6 9-1 10-9 in 75 minutes, while Botwright also needed four games to overcome Scottish qualifier Wendy Maitland 9-5 9-10 9-7 9-0 in 47 minutes. On an adjacent court, Scottish No1 Pamela Nimmo became the only seeding casualty - much to the delight of the local crowd. Unseeded Irish star Madeline Perry, ranked five places below, beat world No15 Nimmo 9-7 9-2 9-3 in 37 minutes to set up a meeting in the last eight with third-seeded Dutch No1 Vanessa Atkinson.
