How did Sascha get up there?!

1-1

Love that Lore's racquets match his outfit

Does Lore provide his own string for the re-stringers?

I didn't know they did that.

Yes Lore! Well played.

Interesting!

Disappeared for a bit, and it seems to be starting the same as the last set.

Lore serving for the match

Well done Lorenzo!

Well done Lore!

He's proving to be dangerous on pretty much any surface- such a good year.

Holger is a set up against David Goffin

Well done Lore. Great result for him!

Well done Lorenzo - he has had a good year!

Holger steaming ahead against Goffin.

I'm looking forward to Berrettini now- spoilt for Italian eye candy on a Friday night .

Not a good start for Matteo- come on Matteo (though of not really anything against Karen).

Well done Holger!

Not going great for Matteo

No, at least he has a game on the board now.

It’s not looking great for Matteo, but then Karen is in good form, he just won the title in Almaty. Matteo also had a gruelling match against Foe, although he’s had a day off.

Eek. First set to Karen .

Come on Matteo!

Well done Karen.

Ben has won the first semi in Basel via an exciting second set tie break, he came back from 0-5 and Arthur had multiple set points. Nice moment at the net.

I caught the very end, had to go shopping. Was a tough tie break.

Draper took the first set against Lorenzo, and a break up in the second, but Lore might level up this set- though he has thrown away some break points.

Lore has just broken back. Jack looks totally exhausted, I think if it goes to a third set Lore will win.
