Only one all-character showdown is in the form of a terwerfinal on Friday in Brussels, where Lorenzo Musetti faces Giovanni Mpetshi. Alejandro Damovich Fokina will go up against Raphael Collignon.
(1) Lorenzo Musetti vs. (5) Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard
The indoor Fall Swing is a lovely time of the season experience. Fast places are fast (speak alike) and there are no external things about the weather that can interfere with his worship. Mpenshi Perricard captured the biggest title of his career 12 months ago at the ATP 500 in Basel, where he beat Felix Auger, Helger Rune, and Ben Pherton. World No. 37 It has not been good this season, but he has some spray after reaching the fourth round at the Shanghai Kings. So far, the European Open has grown with Emil Ruusuvuori and Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Up next to MPSETHI PERIRICARD in the quarterfinals on Friday is a familiar foe in Mumetti. They have faced each other four times in the past and Mumetti has won all four. The eighth-ranked Italian was victorious 7-6 (9), 7-6 (9) last summer in Stuttgart, in four sets immediately after that in Wimbledon, in four open sets, and in three sets over the US in Beijing. MPETSHI PERIRICARDURD has competed in every single event, and a move to the harder indoor courts could be just what the doctor ordered to get him over the Hump.
Pick: Peaches Perricard in 3
(Wc) Raphael Collignon vs (4) Alejandro Damovich Fokina
This is a great opportunity for DavidIch Fokina to finally take his first title on the main tour. Of course, that’s pretty good for any ATP 250 tournament going in. The four-time runner-up (three Finals this season) received the first bye in Brussels as the No. 4 seed and beat Marcos Giron 6-7 (5), 6-16, 6-16 on Wednesday.
Standing in Davifich Fokina way to the semifinals is Collignon, the Belgian wild card. The 23-year-old first made a name for himself at the US open, where he upset Casper and forged his way into the third round. Currently 90th in the rankings, Collignon will climb into the Top 80 on Monday after winning in front of the home crowd over Francisco Zizou Bergs and Arrancisco. It was a good run for Corignon, but Davideovich Fokina took a lot of experience and simply a lot of talent.
Pick: Damovich dial 2
