Dzumhur Matches Last Year's Gstaad Run
Damir Dzumhur secured his place in the semifinals after defeating Matteo Arnaldi in a marathon three-set battle, 7-6, 6-7, 7-6. He had the opportunity to close out the match in straight sets but was forced into a decider before eventually prevailing.
With this run, Dzumhur has matched his result from last year's Gstaad event, where he lost to Carlos Taberner in the semifinals. He will now be aiming to go one step further this week.
This is Dzumhur's best result of the season. Before this week, his only other multiple-match run on tour came in Bucharest, where he reached the quarterfinals.
Dzumhur owns a 4-6 record in ATP tour-level semifinals and has not won a match at this stage since 2018.
