Dimitrov, Del Potro, Zverev and Sock Clash in Semi-Final IF STOCKHOLM OPEN: DAY 6 MEDIA NOTES Saturday, October 22, 2016 Kungliga Tennishallen, Stockholm, Sweden | October 17-23, 2016 Draw: S-28, D-16 | Prize Money: €566,525 | Surface: Indoor Hard ATP World Tour Info Tournament Info ATP PR & Marketing www.ATPWorldTour.com www.StockholmOpen.se Maria Garcia-Planas: [email protected] Twitter: @ATPWorldTour Twitter: @IfSthlmOpen Press Room: +46 72 5836088 Facebook: @ATPWorldTour Facebook: @IfStockholmOpen DIMITROV, DEL POTRO, ZVEREV AND SOCK CLASH IN SEMI-FINAL DAY 6 PREVIEW: Saturday's singles semi-final matches feature three of the top six seeds and one wild card, setting up an interesting final four at the If Stockholm Open. First up on Centre Court is wild card Juan Martin del Potro versus No. 2 seed and former champion Grigor Dimitrov. The Argentine owns a 3-0 record against Dimitrov, but both have done well on serve this tournament. Del Potro leads the field having not yet lost serve all week (30-0), while Dimitrov is a close second, having won 23 of 25 service games. The Bulgarian also leads the field in second-serve points won with 73 percent, followed by del Potro at 68 percent. The last time these two players met was on the grass courts of Stuttgart, where del Potro conceded only six games to claim the win. But before he can stretch his lead to 4-0 and continue his return from injury, he must first get past the 2013 champion who is eager for another title. The second semi-final between No. 4 Alexander Zverev and No. 6 Jack Sock is a first career meeting between the world No. 20 and 23, respectively. The Stockholm semi-finals are familiar territory for Sock, who finished as runner-up at last year's event. This is the seventh time this season that Zverev has reached at least the semi-finals of a tournament. Neither Zverev nor Sock have yet faced a seeded player this week in Stockholm, so Saturday's test will be a challenging match-up for both players.

    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.

  • 2019 Roland Garros Day 3 Men's Notes
    2019 ROLAND GARROS DAY 3 MEN’S NOTES Tuesday 28 May 1st Round Featured matches No. 5 Alexander Zverev (GER) v John Millman (AUS) No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro (ARG) v Nicolas Jarry (CHI) No. 9 Fabio Fognini (ITA) v Andreas Seppi (ITA) No. 10 Karen Khachanov (RUS) v Cedrik-Marcel Stebe (GER) No. 14 Gael Monfils (FRA) v Taro Daniel (JPN) No. 18 Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) v Steve Johnson (USA) No. 22 Lucas Pouille (FRA) v (Q) Simone Bolelli (ITA) (Q) Stefano Travaglia (ITA) v Adrian Mannarino (FRA) On court today… • France’s top 2 players begin their Roland Garros campaigns today, with Gael Monfils up against Taro Daniel on Court Philippe Chatrier and Lucas Pouille playing Simone Bolelli on Court Suzanne Lenglen.

It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
