Seppi high flight stopped by Gilles Simon

In the first set, both tennis professionals fought their way up until the score was 4:4. What's curious is that Seppi had to give up the service twice in a row before Gilles Simon got caught. Then the Frenchman, who was in second place, managed the third break and Simon took the first part of the game on his own serve.

The second set also began with a cold shower for Andreas Seppi. Because Simon immediately took the serve from Kalterer. The world number 17 then moved ahead to 4:1 and was already leading 5:1 after the second break in the second set. Seppi was subsequently able to win two games and also break Simon. But immediately the Frenchman took the South Tyrolean's serve again and after 1:24 hours it was said: Games, Set, Match: Gilles Simon.

Fourth defeat in the fourth duel with Gilles Simon

It was Seppi's fourth defeat in as many duels with the former world number six. In 2006, the South Tyrolean lost in Valencia 6:7(2), 6:7(4) and in Palermo 0:6, 7:6(2), 2:6, before losing 6:7(5) in Lyon two years later ), had to admit defeat 7:5, 4:6.
