Joao Fonseca and Alex Mickelsen entered the semi-finals from the first places. They won all 3 matches with 3 points. At the start of the playoffs, the Brazilian will play against Luke Van Asch, and the American will meet his compatriot Lerner Tien.
Thien secured his place in the semi-finals thanks to the victory over the 20th racket of the world and the main contender for the trophy Arthur Fies (it was the Frenchman who was given the title by the bookmakers before the start of the competition).
On Friday, the legendary Rafael Nadal arrived in Jeddah. The Spaniard, who retired in 2024, chatted and took pictures with fans and participants of the youth Final Tournament.
