Matteo Berrettini wants to get back in form, not just on grass but also on clay. And so far, he is succeeding as he defeated Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarterfinals of ATP Gstaad 2024 with a score of 7-6(9), 7-6(2) after two hours and two minutes of play. In this closely contested match, the Italian takes a step closer to competing with the best again, with his next challenge in the semifinals against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Spanish player shows great excitement for the hard-earned victory against Navone and does not guarantee continued participation in Bastad.
In the 2024 ATP Bastad, all eyes are on Rafael Nadal. However, in the top half of the draw, the semifinalists have also been decided. One of them will be Agustin Tirante, who had an intense match in three sets against Carballes Baena, who was up 5-2 in the decisive set (6-3, 2-6, 7-5). The other fortunate player is Nuno Borges, who didn't have to struggle as much to secure his victory against Timofey Skatov (6-4, 6-3). Therefore, the Argentine and the Portuguese will battle for a spot in the final, where they could potentially face Nadal.

Alexander Zverev has a clear goal: to defend the Hamburg title. And for that, he only has two matches left to achieve it, despite his knee problems. Today, he had no trouble defeating Zhizhen Zhang 6-4, 6-4 after 1 hour and seven minutes of play. The German seems to be finding his rhythm on clay after a brief stint on grass. He is just one step away from reaching the final again, but first, he must beat the Spanish player Pedro Martínez, who defeated Cerúndolo in the semifinals.

Duje Ajdukovic embodies the big surprise of the week with his qualification for the semifinals of the ATP 250 Bastad 2024 after coming unscathed from the qualifying rounds and defeating Van Assche, Kotov, and Monteiro in the main draw. This 23-year-old Croatian is currently ranked 130th in the ATP ranking this week, with his previous best ranking being 115, but he will surpass it next Monday after his performance in the Swedish event.
Up until this week, he had only won one match at the ATP level, building his rise on the Challenger circuit, where he achieved his best result this year by reaching the final in Quimper. He is a complete player, solid from the baseline, with good direction changes with his backhand, and feels comfortable on clay courts due to his great mobility. Rafael Nadal will need a good version of himself to win.

It seems unlikely that Rafael Nadal will risk his health just a week before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and decide to play two matches this Saturday, following the tennis marathon he endured against Navone. The Spaniard will make decisions based on how his body feels upon waking up in the morning, but everything indicates that he will attempt to compete in the individual tournament semifinal and withdraw from the doubles. In any case, his semifinal match alongside Casper Ruud against Orlando Luz and Rafael Matos is scheduled for the third slot, around 6:00 p.m.

Rafael Nadal is defying the laws of logic with his long and successful career despite the many physical problems he has faced. The Spanish tennis player reached the semifinals of an ATP tournament for the first time in his career in 2003, and a whopping 21 years later, he does it again. He matches Roger Federer's record and is only one year away from the record held by Jimmy Connors.
