The top seeded Cameron Norrie and the Danish youngster Holger Rune struggled for a good two hours for the second final ticket at the ATP World Tour 250 tournament in Lyon. In the end, the Briton prevailed 6: 2, 5: 7 and 6: 4 and is thus in the final of the clay court event in eastern France for the second time in a row. Last year, the 27-year-old had to admit defeat to the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in two rounds in the title fight.
Previously, the unseeded Slovakian Alex Molcan had beaten fourth-ranked Alex de Minaur from Australia 7: 6 (2), 6: 2. The two finalists have not yet met at tour level. For Marian Vajda's neo-protégé it is the fifth appearance in the final of his young career - the second of the current season after Marrakesh in early April.
