The semi-finals are set for the two ATP 500 tournaments in hard court this week, Vienna Open and Swiss Indoors Basel. In Austria, the result was a bit predictable, with top four seeded players surviving: Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Alex de Miñaur and Lorenzo Musetti, setting up some very exciting semi-finals.
Meanwhile, in Switzerland, things took a dramatic turn as three of the four quarter-final matches on Friday ended in walkovers: Casper Ruud retired after one set against Davidovich, tie-break included; Felix Auger-Aliassime retired after losing the first set to Jaume Munar, and Denis Shapovalov retired in the third set against Joao Fonseca.
