All four men are attempting to reach their first Acapulco final, though Dolgopolov has come close before. The Ukrainian shot-maker was one set from the championship match in 2011 and 2014 before settling for semi-final finishes. Dolgopolov is 6-3 against Tomic in their FedEx ATP Head 2 Head history, which dates back to the first match of the 2010 ATP World Tour season in Brisbane, when Dolgopolov was a 21-year-old qualifier and Tomic was a 17-year-old wild card. Dolgopolov won that match 6-4, 6-4 and also defeated Tomic 6-4, 6-1 in their most recent encounter last August at ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati. Something’s got to give in Friday’s second semi-final. Both Thiem and Querrey have reached the semis or better of three ATP events in as many weeks.
