Stefanos Tsitsipas is through to another semifinal as he defeated Yoshihito Nishioka to advance at the Lyon Open.
The top seed remaining in the event is through to the semifinal after defeating Yoshihito Nishioka 6-3 6-4. The great player wasted no time in his quarterfinal matchup racing past Nishioka who was overmatched from the start. Tsitsipas served very well at the start of the match not allowing Nishioka much.
The Japanese player was able to hold one initially fending off several attempts by Tstisipas but in the end, the Greek found a way. He wrapped up the first set with 6-3 behind his stellar play on serve that lost him only 3 points in total. The 2nd set featured similar play from both players.
Both served well hitting over 70 % of their first serves which allowed them to convert a high percentage of those points. Nishioka struggled on his 2nd serve as he allowed Tsitsipas to attack him with his forehand. Tsitsipas got the break he needed and after that calmly served the match out.
Another great result for Tsitispsa who will be happy to wrap this one up quickly (66 minutes) and move at an even he will aim to win considering the field that is left.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
