In Group A, Andrey Rublev dominated the debates from start to finish. After his victory against Tomas Machac in the first match, the Russian confirmed his form against Alex De Minaur (13-12, 8-12, 16-12, 13-12) and then against Adrian Mannarino (12-17, 11-13, 18-11, 18-12, 2-0) this Saturday. This allows him to finish the group stage undefeated and challenge the second-place finisher in Group B, namely Casper Ruud.

The semi-finals of UTS London are set

The latter, defeated by Francisco Cerundolo on Friday, then beat David Goffin (14-9, 16-7, 17-9) and Ugo Humbert (13-12, 8-16, 8-16, 14-12, 2-0). He thus finishes ahead of the Argentine, in an unusual configuration where three players (Humbert, Ruud, and Cerundolo) ended with two victories each.

The defending champion of this UTS London, Alex De Minaur, finished second in Group A, dominating Tomas Machac to secure his qualification (10-15, 16-11, 16-13, 16-12). He will face the first-place finisher in Group B, namely Ugo Humbert, in the semi-finals. The Frenchman, who defeated David Goffin the day before, eliminated Francisco Cerundolo (16-10, 14-12, 11-18, 16-9).

In the last match of the group, however, he lost to Casper Ruud (13-12, 8-16, 8-16, 14-12, 2-0), but he still finished ahead of the Norwegian in the standings.
