Beaten in the round of 16 at Roland Garros, Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg had shown great potential at Porte d’Auteuil. And on the London turf, the latter put himself even better forward with a semi-final.

The other semi-final, scheduled on court 18, saw the success of Victor Lilov. The American eliminated seed number 1 Juncheng Shang in two dry sets (6-3, 6-1). Lilov had released Arthur Son in the second round. It will be necessary to refine the calculations but the Chinese, despite this defeat, seems well on course to steal the place of world No. 1 in Luca Van Assche.
