Overview

  • Sebastian Korda pulled out of his semi-final due to illness, posting that he woke up under the weather and stressing the decision was unrelated to his recent shin stress fracture recovery.
  • Marton Fucsovics advanced to the final by walkover, reaching his fifth tour-level championship match as the World No. 94 and aiming to add to titles in Bucharest and Geneva.
  • Botic van de Zandschulp defeated Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard 6-4, 7-5 in the semi-finals after completing a rain-held quarter-final win over Bu Yunchaokete 6-3, 5-7, 6-3.
  • Rain forced a held-over quarter-final and compressed Friday’s schedule, requiring van de Zandschulp to play twice to secure his place in the final.
  • Saturday’s final features van de Zandschulp against Fucsovics, a matchup set on the eve of the US Open, with the ATP listing a 5 p.m. EDT start.
