Grigor Dimitrov started the season extremely well by winning the tournament in Brisbane, which made the early exit at the Australian Open against Nuno Borges all the more bitter. In Marseille, Dimitrov has now found his way back to winning ways, at least for entry into the 250cc. Because the Bulgarian won 6:1 and 7:6 (5) against Sebastian Korda. In the quarterfinals tomorrow, Dimitrov will play against either Jiri Lehecka or local hero Arthur Rinderknech.
Before that, Félix Auger-Aliassime had to say goodbye. The Canadian lost to Zhizhen Zhnag 4:6 and 4:6. In the round of the last eight, Zhang will face Karen Khachanov, who already won against Roberto Bautista Agut yesterday.
Tournament favorite and defending champion Hubert Hurkacz will only take part in the event this evening. Hurkacz plays against Alexander Shevchenko, who has been playing for Kazakhstan for a few days.
