It was not to be for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who fell against Alex de Minaur, who is playing the best tennis of his career this week at the Canadian Open.
The Australian has won comfortably by 6-1, 6-3 and is getting dangerously close to the top 10 of the ATP Ranking.
The two sets have been a copy and paste, where the still world number 18 has been infinitely superior in all aspects of the game.
A tough challenge awaits him in the final, either against Tommy Paul, who defeated world number 1 Carlos Alcaraz, or against Jannik Sinner, who is looking for his first Masters 1000 after having already played 2 finals.
