Aslan Karatsev just continues to win: The Russian, who qualified for the semifinals in the first major of the year in Melbourne, is now making a name for himself at the ATP Tour 500 tournament in Dubai. Karatesv won against the slightly favored Jannik Sinner from Italy with 6: 7 (5), 6: 3 and 6: 2 and is now waiting for the winner of the match between Marton Fucsovics and Andrey Rublev . De Russe will try to increase his winning streak at the ATP Tour 500 tournaments to 23 matches in a row.
Denis Shapovalov was the first player to reach the semifinals. The Canadian, seeded third in Dubai, won against Jeremy Chardy 7-5 and 6-4. Shapovalov will play either Lloyd Harris or Kei Nishikori on Friday. Harris had defeated tournament favorite Dominic Thiem in two sets in round two.
