Holger Rune cannot be blamed again for the fact that the fans didn't get their money's worth during the night session in Acapulco. The Dane was already in a hurry on Wednesday evening local time, beating the Portuguese Nuno Borges 6-0 and 6.2. Almost 24 hours later, Rune's opponent was Matteo Berrettini. And he gave up when the score was 0:6 and 0:1.
After all, a rain interruption in the first set caused the game to drag on a bit. Rune's opponent in the semifinals will be Alex de Minaur, who beat Taro Daniel 6-2 and 6-2. De Minaur is making the most of what has been a very pleasant draw so far, with 17-year-old local hero Rodrigo Pacheco his opponent in round one and Jacopo Berrettini in the round of 16.
In the upper half of the tableau there is a clash between two Americans who have known and respected each other for many years. Taylor Fritz meets Tommy Paul after an unchallenged win against Frances Tiafoe. In turn, he was able to beat Mackenzie McDonald 6:2 and 6:2 in the quarterfinals.
