The 17-year-old is a former junior world No.2, two-time junior Grand Slam doubles champion and recently won her first W100 event in Charlottesville.

Her final test will be up against reigning champion Marino, after she knocked out Switzerland's Celine Naef 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.

Marino won her joint biggest title at Ilkley last year and could reach another level if she wins on Saturday with the event having been upgraded to a WTA 125.

Pinnington Jones held his nerve in the opening set - coming back from a break down and facing two break points at 5-5 to close out the tie-break on his first set point.

Confidence building, the 22-year-old lost just six points on serve in the second set and needed just a single break to see out the victory.

After getting an early break, Schoolkate's powerful serve helped him ease through the first set - the Australian won 15 of the 16 points on his first serve and hit six aces.  Despite missing three set point opportunities on Svajda's serve, the Australian won the opening set in his own game.

The second set remained tight, with both players missing opportunities to break. A final tie break would round off the match as Schoolkate secured the victory on his second match point.

An early break in the second sen the Brit well on his way before he rattled off the final three games to take the win and punch his ticket to the semi-final.

Awaiting Pinnington Jones in the next round is Mochizuki who defeated Crawford earlier in the day.

After a tight first set where just the one break separated the two, Mochizuki powered through the second -  quickly going 5-2 up before easily seeing out the victory.
