Makes the field nearly the same as Queens

[JAMES4578]

Zverev through against Koepfer 6-3 in 3rd, Rublev beat Khachanov 6-3,7-6.

[JAMES4578]

Now Federer is out losing his last 16 match 6-2 in the 3rd to Felix Auger-Aliassime. Rublev through in straights earlier over Jordan Thomson. https://www.eurosport.co.uk/tennis/atp-halle/2021/roger-federer-out-of-halle-open-with-defeat-to-felix-auger-aliassime_sto8377784/story.shtml

Sascha Zverev also upset today by Ugo Humbert 7-6,3-6,6-3 whilst Korda put out Nishikori 2-6,6-3,7-5.

Felix backed up his win against Federer to get to the semis. I'm happy to see him do so well on grass - he got to the final of Stuttgart last week, his 8th!!! One of these days PLEASE WIN the trophy!!! And he won in the dubs too. He had a bit of a disappointing clay season so it's nice to see him have some success on grass.

[JAMES4578]

Unfortunately Felix unable to reach another final, close battle but Ugo Humbert (who upset Zverev) goes through 6-4,3-6,7-6 (7-5). Will now face Rublev who ended the hopes of Basilashvili 6-1,3-6,6-3.

[RoastLamb]

Yeah disappointed for my two Canucks today BUT they did very well to get to the semis.

French no2 Ugo Humbert completes great week by outplaying Andrey Rublev 6-3,7-6 (7-4) to take the title. https://www.atptour.com/en/news/humbert-halle-sunday-2021 The doubles title went to Kraweitz/Tecau who get the better of Auger-Aliassime/Hurkacz 7-6(7-4),6-4.
