- It is only our second tournament but I think we did good in Spain and beat a good pair, and we have shown that we are close to the top pair on the Circuit, Halls says.
- There is still long to go before we can challenge Marcus (Ellis) and Lauren (Smith), Chris and Gabby (Adcock) and Mathias (Christiansen) and Christinna (Pedersen), but I think we are going to be one of the top players in Europe, Adam Hall says.
The Scottish will play Lin Shang Kai (Chinese Taipei) and Kristen Tsai (Canada) in the quarter-finals on Friday.
