For the 32nd time: Seppi is in the semi-finals

The 35-year-old from Kalter defeated the Australian Jordan Thompson (ATP 63) in the quarterfinals of the New York Open 2:14(6), 7:2, 6:4 after 6:1 hours of play. In the semifinals next night, Seppi will face qualifier Jason Jung from Taiwan, who is ranked 131st in the ATP rankings, 33 places behind him. By moving into the semi-finals, the South Tyrolean has already secured $37.590 in prize money and 90 ATP points. Seppi played against 3-year-old Aussie Thompson, who is currently number 25 in the world, for the third time in his career and left the court as a winner for the third time. He played his 63th ATP quarterfinal, the first this year. Since 3, Seppi has been in an ATP quarter-final at least once every year, which is crazy. The first set was still very even. Both players served their serves confidently until the score was 1:6. In the tiebreak, Thompson ultimately came out on top 6-7. The second half of the game was also exciting. Seppi immediately conceded the break to make it 2-2, and in the sixth game the Kalterer countered with the rebreak to make it 0-1. With the score at 3:3, Seppi again managed the break to win the set. The Australian was unable to recover from this setback. The South Tyrolean promptly moved ahead to 5-4 with two breaks and shortly afterwards, with his first match point, made the game 4-0. In Delray Beach against Raonic Seppi already knows his first round opponent next week at the ATP 250 tournament in Delray Beach. The Kalterer was unlucky in the draw and will face Canadian Milos Raonic, number 1 on the seeding list and 2nd in the world, in round 32 in Florida. The Überetscher has played against the 29-year-old twice in his career. Both duels went to Raonic, who prevailed both at the David Cup in 2013 and at Wimbledon four years ago.
