And it continues with the poor performance of Felix Auger-Aliassime. He managed to win two games in a row. But against Giron from USA it was over and he lost in two sets. So it comes to a semi-final between the USA. Shelton against Giron. Shelton is the favourite in this match and he has the possibility to enter the final. And how it looks, he will win this tournament in Tokyo.
And Shelton takes the win in a battling 3 set match, two tie breaks and only one
break of serve in the third set. Shelton is on his way to a possible first ATP title
if he wins this, which I think he has a very strong chance.
He will be facing either Mochizuki or Karatsev, TBH I can see him beating both but
the home guy Mochizuki is a bit unknown.
Its amazing how none of the top 10 players are in the reconing....
And Shelton takes the tournament title!
Karatsev yesterday beat Mochizuki after play was suspended for a time but he failed to overcome
Shelton. Final score over 2 sets was 5-7 and 1-6.
I checked the odds for hese two when it was 1-1 in the first set and they were even.
Tsitsipas failed to get past Fils in the semi final at Antwerp, he got beaten over 2 sets.
Fils now faces Bublik, seeded 4 and 3 respectively. Looking at the odds Fils is favourite
at 1.74 and Bublik is at 2.1, I'm doing a small bet on Bublik.
