Golding and Laura Robson (inset) both won yesterday to become the first home-grown players in the same year to reach the last four of the boys and girls respectively since Buster Mottram and Glynis Coles in 1972.

Golding, 16, is now targeting the title which was last won by a Brit when Stanley Matthews Junior triumphed in 1962.

Londoner Golding, the British No.1 junior, defeated the No.9 seed Renzo Olivo of Argentina 4-6 6-4 6-4. He faces the unseeded Benjamin Mitchell of Australia today in the semi-finals.

Golding said: "Sometimes I almost need to let things out - shout out or hit a ball to get myself going.

"Today I ran round a return and smacked the c**p out of it - that is what got me going." Victory in the competition will grant Golding a wild card into the main draw next summer.

Golding said: "I am quite jokey off the court. I don't take that much too seriously."

Robson, the 2008 girls' champion, defeated fellow Briton discount abercrombie Tara Moore 7-5 6-1 to reach the semi-finals.

Robson meets the No.10 seed Sachie Ishizu of Japan in the semi- finals today as she bids to win the title for a second time.

Robson's victory helped brush off comments by BBC commentator David Mercer that she needs to get rid of her "puppy fat".

She said: "It doesn't bother me at all.

"I'm feeling pretty good and it's good to get through - but it was tough playing another British girl."
