After winning first set in just 22 mins Yuki stretched in 2nd set by Becker ... Becker converted 1 break-point from 2 chances but Yuki converted 5 break-point chances from 7 he generated, 2 of them in 2nd set ... Yuki finished match in 1 hr and 12 mins to move into semis ... Yuki also reached in doubles semis with fighting win over 5th seed French pair, their he and his Taipei partner will face unseeded pair.

Today again Lee and Lukas struggled against Bryans ... They had very poor record against these twins and today Bryans again showed their mastery over pair of Lee and Lukas in 54 mins ... Lee and Lukas converted both break-point chances in this match but other hand Bryans able to create 8 break-point chances and converted 5 of them ... Disappointing performance by Lee and Lukas.
