On Friday, the organizers’ plans were torpedoed by rain, so all quarter-final matches from the singles were moved to Saturday. Kamel Majsherzak (ATP 112) met Dennis Kudla (ATP 118) again. Last week, the American stopped him in the challenge semi-finals in Nottingham. This time, he repaid the pole for the US representative.
Szumi can finish the duel in two matches. However, in the very even first version, he did not use three consecutive set pieces in a tiebreaker. Butyrokoyanin did not collapse with this failure. In the second and third games he was better than Kudla by one break, thanks to which he finally won 6:7 (6), 6:4, 6:4.
After a few hours of rest, Majchrzak began fighting for the final. His opponent was the French Benjamin Ponzi (ATP 121). The magnate never lost his service and was in control of the court situation. In the first set, he scored the first in the fourth inning. However, in the second half he got a pass from Bonzi in the third and seventh games. After 64 minutes, our tennis player probably won 6:3, 6:2.
Majchrzak advanced to the contender’s final in Nottingham. His rival will be Australian Alex Bolt (ATP 195) in Sunday’s match. Pole has a 1-1 balance with him, because in 2018 the gentlemen won one match in Chinese rivals. If the 25-year-old from Piotrków Trybunalski wins the British competition, he should return to the ATP Top 100 rankings on Monday.
