Monfils neutralizes Humbert in Doha to join Mensik!
Gaël Monfils qualified for the semi-finals of the ATP 250 in Doha this Thursday. In the quarter-finals, he emerged victorious from the fratricidal duel against Ugo Humbert in 1h10 and two sets (6/2, 6/4).
The Frenchman will surely have a tough battle to reach the final as he will have to beat an in-form player on Friday. Young Jakub Mensik, 18 years old, indeed just defeated Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Andy Murray, and Andrey Rublev to reach this stage of the competition.
