The final weekend of UTS 2024 competition started yesterday in London.
After the second and penultimate day of the event, we know the posters for the semi-finals which will be played this Sunday.
In group A, Ugo Humbert and Gaël Monfils qualified thanks to a record of two victories and one defeat.
Gaël “La Monf” Monfils started the day by snatching a sudden death victory against Thanasi “Kokki” Kokkinakis (11-12, 11-12, 15-12, 13-8, 3-2).
Despite his defeat against Ugo “The Commander” Humbert later in the evening (20-11, 17-9, 10-14, 9-13, 2-0), the Parisian will be present for the semi-finals tomorrow .
For Humbert, it was the defeat of Andrey “Rublo” Rublev against Kokkinakis (15-14, 12-11, 9-15, 11-15, 2-1) which allowed him to reach the last four of the competition .
In the other group, Alex “The Demon” De Minaur quietly qualified for the semi-finals by beating Alexander “The Bublik Enemy” (20-9, 17-12, 13-14, 18-13) and Jan- Lennard “The Thunder” Struff (13-16, 18-11, 19-8, 21-6).
The Australian thus finished the group stage undefeated.
Finally, Holger “The Viking” Rune got his ticket to the semi-finals by easily beating Bublik (21-8, 17-9, 18-12) then Struff in the last match of the day (15-10, 15-12, 16-11).
Tomorrow's matches will therefore pit Gaël Monfils against Alex De Minaur (from 2:30 p.m. local time) and Ugo Humbert against Holger Rune (not before 3:30 p.m.). The final will then be played at 5 p.m.
