The second semi-final pair consists of Dmitry Popko from Kazakhstan and the finalist of the Švanice challenger Alan Karacev. The Russian tennis player advanced to the top four without a fight after his winner from last week and the biggest star Stan Wawrinka from Switzerland resigned from the tournament on Thursday evening due to a thigh muscle injury.
