Gerry Weber Open II
PTA World Tour 250 - Friday (Quarterfinals) - Halle, Germany - Grass
  • For the second match running, second seed Sven Oxenstierna has come from a set down to easily account for local hope Becker Haas. After his compatriot Gunther Heug was bundled out earlier by Miroslav Brdar (who tomorrow meets Carlo Amato in the first semifinal), Haas was the last remaining German in the draw. The World No. 39 took the first set 6-4, but after that was humbled by the World No. 4 who eased through the next two sets in under three-quarters of an hour. In high tempo tennis, Oxenstierna benefited from a number of errors from the German and hit enough winners to send him packing quickly. The 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 win sets up a showdown with defending champion Rasmus Olesen on Saturday. Olesen also came from a set down; beating sixth seed Oneil Stewart of Jamaica 4-6, 6-1, 6-3.
  • Seeded players out: Oneil Stewart.
  • Following up in the doubles, there was no love for The Ox as he and Brett Read were beaten by little known German pairing David Kestenholz and Daniel Zwygart. In a tight contest, Kestenholz and Zwygart proved just too good for their fellow wildcard entrants as they advanced to the semifinals 7-6(3), 6-4.
  • Seeded players out: Sanchez Emelio & Paolo Mandonna.
