It’s time to play the semi-finals at the Auckland tournament! In this decisive match, we find the Portuguese Nuno Borges and the Belgian Zizou Bergs. Nuno Borges, seeded number 7, managed to qualify for this semi-final, however losing a set in each match. Indeed, he came back to score in his first round against Luciano Darderi, 44th in the world, then did the same in the round of 16 against Mariano Navone (46th in the world). He then came close to losing in the quarter-final against Jakub Mensik, winning the match in the tie-break of the 3rd set. Stopped in the round of 16 of this tournament last year, the Portuguese seems motivated to go far in this second tournament of the season and does not give up in each of his matches.
Zizou Bergs, for his part, has 5 consecutive victories in this tournament since he entered through qualifying. He in fact beat Pablo Carreno-Busta and Francisco Comesana to reach the first round and stopped the 980th in the world Isaac Becroft. He stopped Luca Nardi in just 1 hour 20 minutes and then came back to score against Roberto Carballes Baena, 59th in the world, during the quarter-final. A good run for the Belgian who did not make it past the second round in Hong Kong last week against Arthur Fils.
