Lepszy start Edmunda - oby się już uporał z tą tajemniczą bakterią, która rzutowała na jego ostatnie wyniki. Inna sprawa, że finał Pekinu był na wyciągnięcie ręki.

Będzie rekordowy ranking w Brytyjczyka w poniedziałek.

Aby awansować do finału turnieju ATP w Pekinie, Juan Martin del Potro w sobotę nie musiał wychodzić na kort. Jego półfinałowy rywal, Fabio Fognini, oddał pojedynek walkowerem z powodu kontuzji kostki.
Tym samym Argentyńczyk znalazł się w 35. finale w głównym cyklu w karierze, w tym w szóstym w obecnym sezonie. Jak dotychczas zdobył 22 tytuły. W tegorocznych rozgrywkach zwyciężył w Acapulco i w Indian Wells.

Drugi półfinał został rozegrany zgodnie z planem. I zakończył się niespodziewanym rozstrzygnięciem. Nikołoz Basilaszwili w inauguracyjnej partii spotkania z Kyle'em Edmundem obronił trzy piłki setowe i pokonał rozstawionego z numerem piątym Brytyjczyka 7:6(6), 6:4.

- Uważam, że był to trudny pojedynek i jestem zadowolony z tego, jak zagrałem. W pierwszym secie nie czułem się dobrze, bolała mnie głowa, ale udało mi się zachować spokój - powiedział Gruzin, który awansował do czwartego finału w karierze i stanie przed szansą na zdobycie drugiego tytułu (w lipcu triumfował w Hamburgu).

Niedzielny finał (początek nie wcześniej niż o godz. 13:30 czasu polskiego) będzie drugą konfrontacją pomiędzy Del Potro a Basilaszwilim. W październiku ubiegłego roku w I rundzie imprezy w Szanghaju Argentyńczyk zwyciężył 6:2, 3:6, 6:4. - Spodziewam się interesującego meczu. Nie mogę się doczekać, choć wiem, że czeka mnie trudne zadanie - ocenił Gruzin.

Clinical Zverev Beats De Minaur, Moves Into Shanghai QFs

Spoiler:

German star to meet Edmund on Friday

Fourth seed Alexander Zverev executed a clinical performance — dominant on serve and clever in his groundstroke variety — to defeat fellow #NextGenATP star Alex de Minaur 6-1, 6-4 on Thursday for a place in the Rolex Shanghai Masters quarter-finals. The victory moves the German one match win away from qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals for the second consecutive year. Buy Your London Tickets

With a 48-15 match record this year, Zverev has compiled the most tour-level victories in 2018, tied with Dominic Thiem (48), who is also in the running to clinch one of the singles berths with one month to go until the start of the Nitto ATP Finals.

Zverev will next face 11th-seeded Briton Kyle Edmund, runner-up at the Grand Prix Hassan II (l. to Andujar), who knocked out Nicolas Jarry of Chile 7-6(5), 6-3 in 90 minutes. Jarry struck 17 aces, but had his serve broken three times.


Zverev swept through the 27-minute opener, winning 12 of his 13 first-service points and saving three break points in the seventh game when serving for the set. At 4-3 in the second set, Zverev made back-to-back errors for the first time on his forehand to drop to 15/40, but clever service placement helped the German to maintain his advantage. Zverev closed out with an ace for his third victory over his Australian opponent in 2018.

Zverev leads Edmund 3-0 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series, including a victory at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia in May. Edmund reached his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 quarter-final at the Mutua Madrid Open earlier this year.

The 19-year-old De Minaur, runner-up at the Sydney International and the Citi Open this year, remains in the running to qualify for the 2018 Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan from 6-10 November. Buy Your Milan Tickets

With Slick Serving, Edmund Powers Into Antwerp Final

Spoiler:

Brit to meet Monfils in Sunday's final

Kyle Edmund reached his second tour-level championship match of the season on Saturday, beating former champion Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-4 at the European Open.

While Gasquet beat the Brit in the last four two years ago, this time it was Edmund who came out on top, firing 16 aces in a clinical 77-minute serving performance. The British No. 1, who will attempt to capture his first tour-level crown on Sunday, entered the match with a tournament-leading 85 per cent success rate behind his first serve and improved that figure by dropping just three of 35 points behind his first delivery to earn his 34th match win of 2018.

"I served well today. When I needed my serve it got me out of trouble and also got me some free points," said Edmund.

World No. 15 Edmund, who is yet to drop serve this week in Antwerp, improves to 3-1 in his FedEx ATP Head2Head series against Gasquet and will look to become the first man outside of France to capture the European Open trophy on Sunday. The Grand Prix Hassan II runner-up will once again meet French opposition in the final, following Gael Monfils' 6-3, 6-4 victory over Diego Schwartzman.

"Of course, I would like [my final experience] to be different this time," said Edmund. "But I can't think about the end result. I have to think about the process of winning a tennis match against a very good player."

Looking to follow in the footsteps of French champions Richard Gasquet (2016) and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (2017), Monfils landed 10 aces and converted three of five break points en route to his second final of the season. The Frenchman, who captured his seventh tour-level trophy at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open in January, is also bidding to lift multiple tour-level titles in a single season for the first time. Monfils owns a 1-0 FedEx ATP Head2Head record against Edmund after defeating the Brit in straight sets in their only previous meeting at 2017 Wimbledon.

"I am relieved to have been able to win this match in two sets," said Monfils. "Luckily I could count on my strong first service."

This year's Rio Open presented by Claro winner was aiming to extend his record of reaching each championship match at the Antwerp-based event. In his only previous semi-final appearance in 2018, the World No. 17 triumphed in straight sets before beating Fernando Verdasco to win the biggest title of his career in Rio de Janeiro.

Emotional Edmund Captures First Trophy In Antwerp

Spoiler:

British No. 1 outlasts Monfils in two-hour, 27-minute thriller
Kyle Edmund captured the first ATP World Tour title of his career on Sunday in dramatic fashion, defeating Frenchman Gael Monfils 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(4) to win the European Open in Antwerp.

If there was any doubt that the moment meant a lot to the British No. 1, Edmund broke down into tears as he walked over to celebrate with his team after crushing a forehand winner down the line to clinch his victory.

“I’m obviously very happy. A lot of hard work goes into this. So it’s just emotional,” Edmund said on court. “You always remember this one. Gael made me work for it today, that’s for sure, so credit to him. I’m just so happy.”

When Edmund arrived in Marrakech this year, he had been 0-5 in tour-level semi-finals. But the Brit advanced to his first final there at the Grand Prix Hassan II. The second time in a championship match proved the charm for the 23-year-old, who managed to overcome Monfils despite the Frenchman winning four more points in the match.

"I've been playing well this week, so I knew I had a really good chance," Edmund said. "But after going down in the first set, you always have to stay positive, but just reevaluate and see how the match is going. So it was good to turn the match and just keep at it, not panic and just trust that your opportunity will come."

In crunch time, it was Edmund's fearlessness that prevailed. Throughout the match, the top seed dictated play, especially off the forehand wing. But it was a tremendous backhand down the line at 5/4 in the final-set tie-break that gave him his first championship point, which he converted after a physical two hours and 27 minutes of play.

"It's the final, so you just give everything you've got," Edmund said. "At the end of the day, it's not really about how you play, it's about getting the result in the final, which is what I've got."

It has been the best season of Edmund’s career, as he got off to a great start by reaching the Australian Open semi-finals. Edmund cracked the Top 20 of the ATP Rankings for the first time on 14 May, and he will now match his career-best of No. 14 on Monday thanks to the 250 points he earns along with €109,310 in prize money.

Monfils was trying to capture his second title of 2018. If he won, it would have been the first time he earned multiple trophies in a season.

But it was an impressive week nonetheless for the entertaining 32-year-old, who arrived in Belgium on a four-match tour-level losing streak. But that did not stop the sixth seed from performing well, despite falling to 7-21 in finals. Monfils leaves Belgium with 150 ATP Ranking points and €57,570.

Did You Know?
Edmund is the 13th first-time champion on the ATP World Tour this season. And as World No. 15, the Brit is the highest-ranked player of the group. Stefanos Tsitsipas also triumphed for the first time on Sunday, doing so in Stockholm.
