The final matches of the ATP 250 quarterfinals
were held last Sunday in Astana. Thus, the players who reached the semifinals were
announced. Among them is Adrian Mannarino, who is ranked 34th in the ATP
singles. The French athlete defeated Jurij Rodionov in two sets. It is known
that Austrian Sebastian Ofner, who beat Dominic Thiem, the US Open 2020
champion, will be Mannarino’s opponent in the semifinals. The second semifinals
will feature Serbian Hamad Medjedovic and American
Sebastian Korda, who defeated Tallon Griekspoor from the Netherlands in the
quarterfinals.
“I hope I can play well and
hopefully win the semis. I think it’s going to be better now because I’m coming
with confidence. I’ve already had an experience in Switzerland. Definitely, one
of the goals is to be top 100 by the end of the year and make it to the
Australian Open main draw. I believe I’m very close to that now. In fact, I
need a couple more points,” said Medjedovic.
