    After a busy day at the Wrexham Tennis and Padel Centre yesterday with five matches on the Show Court, the final four at the Lexus Wrexham Open have been decided and who would have thought at the start of the week that three British players would be playing in the semifinals!

    Mimi Xu was triumphant over the last remaining seeded player Harmony Tan and will take on fellow Brit Lily Miyazaki who won a fought hard from a set down to Jana Otzipka.

    The second semifinal is between the sixteen year old Mika Stojsavljevic and Elena Malygina which is set to be a match filled with power strikes and extended rallies.

    But before all this, listen to yesterday's recap with many guests involved at the Lexus Wrexham Event including an exciting visit from Jack Sargeant who is from Welsh Government and is the Minister for Culture, Skills, and Social Partnership.

  • Second Round
    2025/10/24

    The quarter finals have been decided following a packed day at the Lexus Wrexham Open with four British players making it through. They aren't playing each other meaning that we could have an all British semi final line up too!

    In the second round, Lily Miyazaki had a dominant win over the top seed Jessika Ponchet in straight sets, so we chatted to her later on in the podcast to hear how she is feeling this week.

    Mimi Xu came back from a 5-1 deficit in the first set and showed determination in the second to progress through to the final eight 7-5, 7-5.

    Over the day, Rose caught up with different people throughout the day including Kirsty, supervisor at the Wrexham Tennis and Padel Centre and Katie O'Brien who is supporting all of the British players but particularly Mimi Xu and is so excited about how well she is playing this week.
