It was meant to be just a gentle final-week tune-up at the English seaside before Wimbledon - but Max Purcell and Aleksandar Vukic are having such a great time at Eastbourne that they can even dare dream of lifting their maiden ATP singles crown.
Both reached the semi-finals of the Eastbourne International at Devonshire Park on Thursday, only the second time that the two Australian stalwarts have ever got that far in any ATP tour-level event.
And there's even the rarest of opportunities for them to set up a pre-Wimbledon, all-Australian ATP final with Purcell to face the surprise British breakout star of the men's summer, Billy Harris, and Vukic meeting American star Taylor Fritz in the other last-four encounter.
