Collignon Makes a Splash in Brussels: First ATP Semifinal by Defeating Davidovich Fokina

In Brussels, Collignon confirms his meteoric rise. With a controlled quarterfinal against the world number 20, the Belgian advances to his first ATP semifinal and shines in front of his home crowd.

Nothing seems to stop Raphaël Collignon in Brussels this week. In front of his home crowd, the Belgian played his first ATP quarterfinal this Friday, two days after his narrow victory over Francisco Comesana.

Facing world number 20 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Collignon imposed his will with his 32 winners, winning 7-6, 6-1 in 1 hour and 50 minutes of play.

He thus reaches the very first semifinal of his career on the main tour and will face one of the title favorites, Félix Auger-Aliassime, tomorrow.

The native of Rochester (United States) virtually climbs to 73rd place in the rankings, confirming his impressive progress this year after notably securing a victory against Alex de Minaur in the Davis Cup last month.
