Bergs falls to Struff and leaves the ATP Brussels orphaned in the semifinals

The ATP Brussels has already defined its semifinals, and in the last quarter-final match of the day, the local crowd experienced a blow as they saw Zizou Bergs fall to Jan-Lennard Struff with a score of 6-3 7-6(6), losing their last local hero. Therefore, it will be a foreign player who lifts the title on a day filled with more surprises.

The Belgian tennis player managed to save two match points in the tie break and brought the score to 6-6 and served, but eventually succumbed to the pressure and paid dearly for his errors throughout the match. Shortly before, Arthur Fils also secured his place in the semifinals after defeating Alex Michelsen with a score of 6-4 7-6(12), marked by a last agonizing tie break where the French player had several match points and had to save multiple set points in favor of the American. In this way, his qualification for the ATP Finals is getting closer.

Griekspoor surprises Lehecka to face Cerúndolo

The other big surprise of the day was Tallon Griekspoor against Jiri Lehecka, whom he defeated with a score of 4-6 6-4 6-3. A comeback that is gold after a difficult year for the Dutchman, who has dropped to the top 60 of the ATP ranking after a series of poor results that have distanced him from his best version.

Finally, it is worth highlighting the victory of Francisco Cerúndolo against Clement Chidekh, who had reached the quarter-finals coming from the qualifiers, overcoming players such as Botic Van de Zandschulp or Jacob Fearnley. However, the Argentine player proved to be too great a challenge for him and fell with a score of 6-2 6-4. Thus, the semifinals will be Cerúndolo vs Griekspoor and Fils vs Struff.
