Interesting matchups! Fun to watch these low-stress matches (at least it's low-stress for me!)

The Evans/Albot match was fun to watch yesterday. Lots of enjoyable rallies for tennis fans.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Sam Querrey defeated Fernando Verdasco 7-6, 6-2 in the first of the QF's.

Thomas Fabbiano. Is this real life? Guys not even a professional player

 

[stringertom]

Why is Simon even playing after all those 200-plus points three-set marathons at Queens last week? It seems he has finally hit the wall in his Renault-made tank. Fabbiano up a set and a break.

 

[romeo8880]

Looks like another Frenchman fixing a match to me. Shocker

 

[romeo8880]

I bet he won’t be investigated or banned though. Anyway, a walkover for Querrey into the final

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Taylor Fritz defeated Hubert Hurkacz 6-4, 7-6 to make it into the Semis

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

So it's Sam Querrey vs Thomas Fabbiano in the first SF and Taylor Fritz vs the winner of the Edmund-Evans match in the other SF.

Evans broke Edmund in the first game, good start

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Evans won the first set 6-1 but Edmund has broken back to a lead in the 2nd set...

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Edmund has won the 2nd set 6-3 so they go to a deciding 3rd set for the final spot in the semis

 

[romeo8880]

Edmund has only lost 3 points on his serve since the first set (0 on his first serve)

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

Edmund has a great comeback and wins 1-6, 6-3, 6-4! So it will be Edmund vs Fritz in the 2nd semi-final!

 

[flyingboris]

Edmund has only lost 3 points on his serve since the first set (0 on his first serve)

Edmund takes it. Evans was able to fight off (at least?) one match point, but in the end Edmund takes it 1-6 6-3 6-4.

 

[Zardoz7/12]

Edmund has had a torrid season, he won a challenger event and barring that every time I see him play he loses so good on him for making the semis of Eastbourne.

Maybe I'm too hard on the lad but he had a solid 2018 and he has the tools to back it up.
