Day 5 was another great day of action at the City of Onkaparinga ATP Challenger 2015.

The day started with fourth seed, Paul-Henri Mathieu (FRA) easily accounting for Matteo Viola (ITA) 6-1 6-3 on Centre Court, whilst Liam Broady (GBR) was defeated by Belgian qualifier, Maxime Authom in straight sets, 6-2 6-4.

South Australian Alex Bolt then hit Centre Court, losing the first set to eighth seed Marton Fucsovics (HUN) 6-3, before running away with the second and third sets 7-6(5) 6-1 respectively to make his way to the quarter finals.

The final singles match of the day was a topsy-turvy affair. Number one seed Blaz Rola (SLO) took the first set 6-1 against Ryan Harrison (USA), before Ryan returned the favour in the second set, levelling the match at one set all. Ryan eventually took the third set 7-5 booking himself a spot in the quarter finals.

In the doubles, the Aussie pairings of Alex Bolt/Andrew Whittington and Luke Saville/Jordan Thompson have both made their way through to the semi finals to be played tomorrow afternoon.

Matches will start at 11:00am tomorrow, with main draw singles and doubles, headlined by number two seed Marcos Baghdatis taking on Australian qualifier Andrew Whittington in the second match on Centre Court.
