Diego Schwartzman looked down and out at one stage of his quarterfinal match as the talented and in-form Alejandro Davidovich Fokina thrice served for the match in the second set (led 6-2 5-2). However, the Argentinian, known for his fighting abilities and grinding out results, pulled off a sensational comeback to end up on the winning side, 2-6 7-6 6-1. World #9 Diego Schwartzman has gone 2-0 in completed semifinal matches in ATP Tour events so far in 2020, with the recent such win coming against a Canadian opponent (Denis Shapovalov) in Rome Masters last month. That win also ended the Argentinian’s four-match losing streak against Canadians and got him the first win against such players (1-4 in career).

The top-ranked Argentinian went through a rough phase for a few weeks after the restart but gained a lot of momentum and confidence in recent weeks by progressing to the finals in Rome Masters and semifinal in the French Open (lost to Rafael Nadal). Diego Schwartzman has won only 19 matches on indoor hard courts so far in his career, but it includes three semifinal wins against Gael Monfils in Vienna 2019, Stefanos Tsitsipas in Antwerp 2017, and David Goffin in Antwerp 2016.

Felix Auger Aliassime needed three sets and nearly three hours against Egor Gerasimov in the opening round but made easy work of Yoshihito Nishioka in the quarterfinal, 6-3 6-4. This will be the talented Canadian’s second consecutive semifinal appearance on tour and fifth of the season. Felix Auger Aliassime has already played nine semifinal matches on the main tour so far in his young and successful career and managed to win six of them, including the recent three against Roberto Bautista Agut in Cologne last week, Gilles Simon in Marseille 2020, and Pablo Carreno Busta in Rotterdam 2020 — all three on indoor hard courts.
