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.

Molcan Chasing Best Result of the Season

Alex Molcan moved into the semifinals after defeating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in three sets. It followed another comeback victory over Dino Prizmic in the previous round, giving him back-to-back hard-fought wins. 

This is Molcan's second ATP semifinal of the season. He also reached the last four in Barcelona a few months ago but lost to Ben Shelton in straight sets. This time, he will fancy his chances of going one step further. 

Molcan heads into the match with a 3-3 record in ATP tour-level semifinals. However, he is currently on a three-match losing streak at this stage, with his last semifinal victory coming in Lyon in 2022.
