Andy Murray advanced into his first semifinal match since his comeback in August this year as he defeated Marius Copil.
The day in Antwerp started with the match between youngster Jannik Sinner and Frances Tiafoe. Sinner plays in a great form at the
European Open when he defeated Majchrzak and Monfils in the previous rounds. Now he also coped with Tiafoe after a 3 set victory 6-4, 3-6 and 6-3.
Sinner was later joined by
Stan Wawrinka who defeated Frenchman Gilles Simon after 2 hours and 17 minutes 6-3, 6-7 and 6-2.
Andy Murray plays perfectly in Antwerp and is slowly getting back into the top again. He
did not lose a set at the European Open yet. Although Murray struggled to finish the match on his serve in the 2nd set, in the quarterfinals he outplayed Marius Copil 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 to reach the first semifinals since his return.
