Andreas Seppi fights his way into the semi-finals

Seppi needed exactly two hours and two minutes to put a stop to his opponent from Israel and ultimately defeat him 5:7, 6:4 and 6:4. The first sentence didn't start as desired for the South Tyrolean. When the score was 5:5, he missed two break points before Sela took the point and finally made everything clear on the opponent's serve.

From then on, however, Seppi dictated the game. In both the second and third sets he landed the decisive break when the score was 1:1. In both cases he didn't let his opponent get close. The quarterfinal victory and at the same time the third success in the fourth match against Sela was perfect.

On Friday at 15 p.m. (CEST), Seppi, seeded number seven, will fight for a place in the final. In the semifinals he will face either US boy Steve Johnson or the tournament's number one, Kevin Anderson from South Africa. This match was canceled today due to darkness and will continue tomorrow with the score at 6:7, 7:5, 4:3 for Anderson. The 32-year-old Überetscher has never played against the South African; he has drawn in the two previous duels with the North American However, always the shortest in three sentences.
