Spondon junior Sam Ferguson produced some fine form to reach the semi-finals of the Riga Open in Latvia.
The 12-year-old did not drop a set and only conceded six games in his first two matches in the boys' under-14 section of the Tennis Europe tournament.
He beat Estonia's Kristjan Tamm 6-0, 6-3 in his first-round match and followed it up with a 6-2, 6-1 win against eighth seed Przemyslaw Michocki of Poland.
The victory saw unseeded Ferguson, the under-12 British number one, set up a quarter-final encounter with Russian Grigory Potemkin, seeded fourth.
It took the Derbyshire boys' player of the year three hours to win 7-6 (7-2), 4-6, 7-6 (7-1) and book his place in the semi-finals, following rain delays.
Dad Graeme said: "It's probably Sam's best ever result and his coach said he played so well – at a seriously high level. He said it was a class effort."
Ferguson, who recently competed in the Longines Future Tennis Aces junior tournament at Roland Garros, lost his semi-final 6-0, 6-2 to second seed Kenneth Raisma of Estonia.
He had more success in the boys' under-14 doubles, reaching the final with compatriot Marcus Walters.
The unseeded pair won 6-0, 6-1 in the first round against Estonia duo Artur Erik Lindmaa and Martin Valdo Randpere.
They then went on to beat second seeds Tadas Babelis and Lukas Zvikas, of Lithuania, 6-0, 1-6, 10-8 in the quarter-finals.
In the last four, they won 6-0, 6-4 against Artem Kapshuk, of Ukraine, and Russia's Yaroslav Prostakov.
Graeme, whose son trains under the MyTennis programme at Loughborough University, said: "Having had a three-hour singles match and not a lot of rest, Sam and Marcus beat the number two seeds.
"Then, having just sat down on their chairs from finishing this match, their semi-final opponents came on court.
"Thankfully – and I'm not sure where the energy came from – they won. I think it's a great testament to the fitness coaches at Loughborough."
In the doubles final, Ferguson and Walters lost 6-2, 6-3 to top seeds Raisma and fellow Estonian Christopher Robin Klettenberg.
