Top seed Bicknell raced through the first set after breaking Cruze three times and holding his serve. In the second set, Cruze had trouble returning the ball as he began feeling pain before deciding that he could no longer continue.
Meanwhile, Berry defeated Horatio Ludford, 6-1, 4-6, (12-10 super tie-breaker). Berry breezed easily through the first set but Ludford rallied in the second to level the match.

The Girls 16 final will be between Michaelann Denton and Shaeda Nickle who beat Shae-Ann Kameka, 7-5, 6-2, and Tradian Barrett, 6-1, 6-3, respectively.
