Italian qualifier Mattia Bellucci continued his remarkable run at the ATP 500 tournament in Rotterdam, defeating World No. 12 Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-4, 6-2 on Friday. The 23-year-old, who secured his first Top 10 win against Daniil Medvedev in the previous round, displayed an aggressive game to dispatch Tsitsipas in just 86 minutes.
Now through to his first-ever ATP Tour semi-final, Bellucci will face third seed Alex de Minaur on Saturday for a place in the championship match. De Minaur, last year’s Rotterdam finalist and current World No. 8, reached the semis with a commanding 6-1, 6-4 win over Daniel Altmaier.
