Marc-Andrea Hüsler (ATP 102) is in the last four of the ATP 250 in Winston-Salem! Coming from the qualifications, the Zurich native won 6-4 6-4 in the quarter-finals against the revelation of the summer, Jack Draper (ATP 55).
Marc-Andrea Hüsler needed 1h20′ to take the measure of the Briton, quarter-finalist of the recent Masters 1000 in Montreal. He conceded his serve only once, when he was leading 4-3 in the initial set, but reacted perfectly by signing a new break in stride.
The 26-year-old left-hander thus climbs for the second time in his career into the last four of an ATP tournament, after Kitzbühel in the summer of 2020. Stopped by Miomir Kecmanovic in Austria, he will come up against another Serbian player in the semi -finals in Winston-Salem, on the night of Friday to Saturday: Laslo Djere (ATP 89).
Guaranteed to be at least 85th in the world at the end of this tournament, Hüsler suffered the law of Laslo Djere during their only previous face-to-face. He lost 7-5 6-2 on clay in Bastad in July at the Round of 16 stage. But he has since taken another step forward.
