ATPThursday, 16 January 2020 at 06:12
Ugo Humbert and John Isner came out victorious during the Day 4 at the 2020 ASB Classic to secure their semifinal spots.
The tall American, John Isner kicked-off the day full of quarterfinals in Auckland. He faced Kyle Edmund in a match without break and with 13 breakpoints that were not converted. In an hour and 58 minutes, Isner scored 25 aces which led him to win both tie-breaks in the match. Both tie-breaks were won 7-5 by Isner as he served through to the semifinals.
Most of the fans in New Zealand expected second-seeded Denis Shapovalov to meet fourth-seeded John Isner in the semifinals. However, Ugo Humbert was against this idea. The Frenchman was stunning against the young Canadian. He kept a high-level of the first service when he has won up to 86% of points after the first serve. He also added 3 turned breakpoints in the first set and 1 in the second. This, secured him 7-5, 6-4 victory against Shapovalov who already defeated names like Alexander Zverev or Stefanos Tsitsipas this year.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
