Two IMG Bollettieri professionals, Taylor Dent and Ricardas Berankis, moved into the semifinals of the JSM Challenger in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.

On the other side of the draw, 19-year old former Junior US Open champion, Ricardas Berankis, breezed by Kaden Hensel of Australian 6-0, 6-2 and will face third-seeded Michael Russell. Berankis, who qualified for the event, already took down seventh-seeded Kevin Anderson in the second round.
