Challenger - Fucsovics soundly beaten by world No. 503 in Nouméa!
Marton Fucsovics, ranked 100th in the world, was the favorite to beat Moerani Bouzige (ranked 503rd in the world) in his quarter-final on Thursday in Nouméa.
But the Hungarian, clearly having a bad day, lost in two sets, 6-3, 6-3. A real counter-performance for the man who was ranked at best 31st in the world in 2019.
Opposite him, 25-year-old Bouzige scored the biggest win of his career and will reach the semi-finals of a Challenger for the first time since his professional debut.
He will have to confirm this feat tomorrow against Constant Lestienne for a place in the final.
