Jalil will now face his younger brother Yasir in the final. Top seed Aqeel Khan had excused himself from playing due to his international tour to Iran and as a result Rehman got a walkover in the quarter-final.
Meanwhile Kinza Ghanchi defeated Hajra Nadeem 6-3, 3-6, 10-7 to progress in to the women’s semi-final, while Neha Khan defeated Saba Ahmed 6-1, 6-0 to book a place against Nadeem in the final round.
In another match, Talha Zubair set up the boys’ under-17 singles final with Malik Hamza as he defeated Nazif Ahmed in 6-2, 6-3, while Hamza overcame Dawar Rehan 3-6, 6-4, 10-8.
