Muller beats Fils in Hong Kong to reach semi-finals
Far from being the favorite in this match, Alexandre Muller managed to beat Arthur Fils in the quarter-finals of the ATP 250 Hong Kong.
The match started badly for Muller, who conceded the first set 6-3.
He quickly got back on track by breaking Fils in the second set, and, despite a debreak, took the second set 6-3.
He then went on to win the 3rd set 6-1, taking 26 of the 39 points contested.
For the second time in his career, he will play in an ATP semi-final, against the winner of the match Jaume Munar versus Lorenzo Musetti.
