Semi-Final Ticket = Booked ✅ @steftsitsipas confirms his place in Saturday’s semi-finals with a 7-5 6-3 win over Ymer @sthlm_open #StockholmOpen
Mikael Ymer was unable to battle past Stefanos Tsitsipas as the Greek eased himself into the semi-final 7-5 6-3.
It was a fun and competitive match but unfortunately, the Swedish crowd did not get to see the highest-ranked native lpayer advance into the semi-final. Stefanos Tsitsipas once again proved better than Mikael Ymer winning for the 4th time against him.
Tsitsipas established control fairly quickly taking a 5-2 lead but he also allowed the Swedish player to battle back all the way to 5-5 making the first set interesting. He was unable to completely turn it around as Tsitsipas remained calm and finished off the opening set 7-5.
Both were quite aggressive and hit plenty of winners but Tsitsipas was unable to create many free points with his serve hitting zero aces in the first set. He was a bit better in the second set but both of the toned down the aggressive style.
Tsitsipas was a bit more precise with his groundstrokes and he did enough to break Ymer once en route to the 6-3 finish. Another semi-final for Tsitsipas who is hoping to finally win a trophy again.

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
