Despite the fact that the semifinal schedule of play in Rotterdam features only 1 seeded player, all of the players belong to TOP 40 of the ATP Ranking.
Pablo Carreno-Busta, Felix Auger-Aliassime,
Filip Krajinovic and
Gael Monfils are the names of players featured in the semifinal at the ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.
The day on the centre court will be opened by the doubles match between Klaasen & Marach against Herbert & Mahut. The match will be followed by the first semifinal match of singles between Pablo Carreno-Busta and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
The Spaniard played 3 three-set matches in Rotterdam so far. In the first round, he managed to outplay
Mannarino. Then he
defeated Bautista and in the quarterfinals, Carreno-Busta overpowered Jannik Sinner.
On the other hand, Auger-Aliassime needed 3 sets only in
the first-round victory over Struff. In the following rounds, he defeated both Dimitrov and
Bedene in just two sets. The players did not meet on the ATP tour yet and so any of them can become the finalist in Rotterdam.
In the second semifinal match, youngster Filip Krajinovic will clash with experienced Gael Monfils. Both players are playing in a very good form at the moment. They met in the semifinal at the Open Sud de France last week.
Monfils was victorious that time and continued also later when he
managed to win the title.
In Rotterdam, Monfils defeated Sousa, Simon and Evans without losing a set. Krajinovic did not drop any set yet as well. The Serbian defeated Griekspoor, Pospisil and Rublev on his way to the semifinal.
