He lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in two sets, and thus knocked out world number three Daniil Medvedev from the ATP500 tournament on the grass in Halle in the quarterfinals. In addition to the Russian player, Yannick Siner, the fourth seed in the tournament, also did not reach the semifinals – the 21-year-old Italian tennis player lost the first set 7: 5 against Alexander Bublik from Kaha and conceded the match with a deficit of 2: 0.

In the case of Alexander Zverev, the paper model was no longer upside down, and the ninth-seeded German bid farewell to Chilean Nicholas Jarry in two sets, while Andrei Rublev put the Dutchman Grikspur on both shoulders in three sets.
Meanwhile, paper form also prevailed at the London Turf Championships: Alex de Minaur beat Adrian Mannarino, while Holger Ron knocked out Lorenzo Musetti in two sets, albeit closely. At the end of the day, world number one Carlos Alcaraz defeated Grigor Dimitrov in a close fight, but in two sets.
It is interesting that the 20-year-old Spanish Classic reached the semi-finals for the first time in a grass tournament.
Last but not least, the favorites won the quarterfinals at the women’s tournament in Birmingham: among others, Jelena Ostapenko, Barbora Krezhikova and Anastasia Potapova made it to the top four.
