Andreas Seppi's final dream has shattered

The favored US boy (ATP 38) needed just 78 minutes of play to defeat Seppi (ATP 57) 6:4, 6:4 and destroy his hopes of reaching the final.

At the start of the game, the 32-year-old from Kalter bravely stood up to his counterpart, who was six years his junior. However, when the score was 4:4, his hitherto flawless serve game thwarted his plans. Johnson moved to 5:4 with a break and won the set a short time later.

The same game in the second round: after an hour and a half rain break, it was 4:4 again when Seppi carelessly gave up his service with two double faults and finally paved the way for the American to win. For the South Tyrolean, this is the third defeat in the third duel with Johnson, and for the first time he was denied a set win.

Seppi will now travel on to London, where he will be at the beginning of the week first round of Wimbledon meets the Spaniard Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.
