• In yesterday’s late game, Auger-Aliassim (#10) started the tournament with a difficult first set and victory over Spain’s Pablo Yamas (#240, 7-5, 6-2), but decided to retire tonight due to shoulder pain before the start of the match.

• Last year’s second-seeded champion Cameron Norrie (#14) and fourth-seeded Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo (#28) will play in the second semi-final, who today defeated their compatriot Sebastian Baez (#44) and Jack Draper (respectively) in three sets. #60).
• The first semi-final pair has been determined in Geneva, where the second and fourth seeded tennis players – American Taylor Fritz (#9) and Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov (33) will meet.
• If Fritz easily defeated the neutral tennis player Ilya Ivaška (#86) in two sets with 6:1 and 6:2, then Dimitrov won a break in the second after losing the first set and celebrated a tough three-set victory over the Australian Christopher O’Connell (#85) – 6:7(5), 7:5, 6:4.
• Geneva is also without the number one – the champion of the previous two years Kasper Rud (#4) won the first set, but lost to the Chilean Nicolas Jarri (#54) in three sets.
