Fonseca was defeated by Hugo Umbert in the semifinals – the Frenchman lost the first set to a tiebreak and after four games of the second game refused to continue the fight. If we take into account the quarter-final confrontations, then this is already the fourth elimination in Basel in two days.
Fokina will hold the fifth final in his career and the fourth in the season. Alejandro has zero trophies to his credit. The Spaniard is already in 15th place in the ATP LIVE rating.
Previously, Fokina and Fonseca played against each other only once – on August 9, Joao withdrew from the 1/32 final match against Alejandro at the end of the second game.
