    GASQUET DEFEATS LOPEZ 14-12, 18-14, 18-10, 15-17

    Make it back-to-back semi-finals for Richard Gasquet at UTS
  • 19h13
    QUARTER 4: EL TORERO LEADS 13-9

    He'll show his best tennis before he goes. The Spaniard is finding the energy to lead Gasquet 13-9 with just over three minutes to go.
  • 19h11
    THE SEMI-FINAL FIELD IS SET AT #UTS2

  • 19h02
    QUARTER 3: GASQUET TAKES IT 18-10 TO CLINCH VICTORY

    Gasquet improves his record to 3-0 and 10-3 overall at UTS...
  • 19h01
    HIGHLIGHT:

    We thought it was supposed to be Lopez who hit back-to-back aces? The Virtuoso is doing it all today.

  • 18h59
    QUARTER 3: GASQUET LEADS 12-5

    Leading 10-4 Gasquet looks to his Next point X2 card...

    He picks up one of the two points, more than enough, and now leads 12-5
  • 18h54
    QUARTER 3: GASQUET LEADS 6-4

    Lopez has to have this quarter but he just can't find the solutions against Gasquet. The Frenchman saunters off to a 6-4 lead and he'll serve next.
  • 18h47
    QUARTER 2: Gasquet takes it 18-14

    The Frenchman's mastery over his good friend El Torero continues. At one point it was tied at 11-11 but Gasquet had cards in his pocket and took charge to win 7 of the final 10 points.
  • 18h43
    QUARTER 2: Gasquet leads 17-11

    Lopez tied the match up with a three-point ace, but Gasquet uses his Next Point X2 card to get the next four points and lead 15-11. He stretches it to 17-11 with 1:15 LEFT.
  • 18h35
    QUARTER 2: Tied 7-7

    Lopez once again proves he is the master of the cards. He uses his Next Points X2 point to perfection to come level from 3-7 down.
  • 18h32
    QUARTER: Gasquet wins it 14-12

    Gasquet opened up a big lead and didn't allow Lopez enough time to get back into it.

    Gasquet has dominated Lopez over the course of their careers, and even beat him in sudden death at UTS1.
  • 18h25
    QUARTER 1: Gasquet leads 7-3

    Gasquet had reeled off six straight points to lead 6-2, which forced Feliciano Lopez to use his "Next Point X2" card early.

    It doesn't pay dividends however and Gasquet now leads 7-3.
  • 18h25
    QUARTER 1: Gasquet leads 11-7

    Gasquet uses the "Next Point X2" card with a 9-6 lead and 3:43 left on the clock. And he takes one of the two points, lacing a forehand winner to lead 11-7.

  • 18h03
    VERDASCO WINS IN SUDDEN DEATH!

    The final score: 16-19, 13-20, 20-16, 17-16, 2-1

    The Spaniard saves a match point in the sudden death before sneaking away with the win to finish his first UTS appearance on a high note.

    A valiant performance by Dustin Brown, who turned in 32 winners against 12 unforced errors.
  • 17h57
    QUARTER 4: VERDASCO WINS IT 17-16 TO FORCE SUDDEN DEATH

    Heck of a job by the Spaniard to battle back against Brown in the extreme heat.
  • 17h56
    QUARTER 4: Verdasco leads 15-13

    The Spaniard is pushing for sudden death with 1:41 remaining.
  • 17h45
    QUARTER 3: VERDASCO TAKES IT 20-16
  • 17h43
    QUARTER 3: VERDASCO LEADS 18-14

    From 4-10 down to 18-14 up. It's been a nice turnaround for El Fuego.
  • 17h41
    QUARTER 3: TIED 10-10

    Verdasco mounts a comeback using his winners x 3 card to get level...

    Maybe this one isn't is "OVER" as we thought it was?
  • 17h37
    HOT SHOT BROWN:

    Yes, there have been plenty of them to choose from in this match.

  • 17h31
    QUARTER 2: BROWN TAKES IT 20-13

    More domination from Brown who is in firm control of this contest thanks to assertive play and fantastic serving.
  • 17h23
    QUARTER 2: Brown leads 11-5

    It's all Brown as we pass the half-way mark in quarter two. He's swinging freely, no pressure.
  • 17h13
    QUARTER 1: Brown leads 14-12

    Make it 7 points on the trot for Brown after he crushes a backhand winner.

    Now make it 8
  • 17h13
    QUARTER 1: Brown wins it 19-17

    A brilliant comeback from Dustin Brown from 12-6 down. And the German's mini-triumph is big for Corentin Moutet. The Frenchman has qualified for tomorrow's semi-finals as a result of Brown's win in the quarter.
  • 17h05
    QUARTER 1: Verdasco leads 12-10

    The Spaniard stretches his lead by using the Next Point X2 card for four. Good start for El Fuego, who really has been quite solid at UTS.

    Oh, but look out. Brown answers with a four-point turnaround to get within two.
  • 16h47
    MOUTET WINS BY DEFAULT

    Updating the status of Benoit Paire, who appeared to be suffering from heat exhaustion. He looks to be feeling okay and was recently being monitored by health professionals.

    Here was the abrupt ending to the match:



    In the meantime, Moutet chance's are good, and the Frenchman will have to cheer for Dustin Brown to score a quarter off of Fernando Verdasco to qualify for the semis...
  • 16h31
    QUARTER 3: Moutet Leads 16-8

    It's all Moutet now as he's just converted both of his Next Point X2 cards. And just like that Benoit Paire has retired. He walks off the court and forfeits the quarter. So the match is over and Paire has defaulted.
  • 16h26
    QUARTER 3: Moutet leads 9-5

    Moutet scores three off a net cord serve winner. The no-let rule pays dividends for Moutet. More hard luck for Paire.
  • 16h19
    QUARTER 2: Moutet wins it 18-11

    Moutet took over the quarter late and Paire didn't have the time - or energy - to get back into it.
  • 16h16
    QUARTER 2: Moutet leads 15-10

    Moutet takes his next point x2 card and reels off four points to lead by 3. Now it's Paire struggling and Moutet takes two more points on Paire's serve as the clock ticks under a minute.
  • 16h15
    VIDEO: MAX EFFORT MOUTET

    How about this for all-out defense?

  • 16h13
    QUARTER 2: Tied 8-8

    Moutet steals serve at 7-7 and the points are split, so we have ourselves another close quarter.
  • 16h00
    QUARTER 1: Moutet Wins it 18-15

    Paire made it close but Moutet prevails to take the opening quarter by three points.
  • 15h53
    QUARTER 1: Tied 9-9

    So far it has been an entertaining battle and, surprisingly, both players have been quite serious, going about their business.
  • 15h46
    HEALTH WATCH: DIMITROV

    Here is Grigor Dimitrov talking about his recovery from Covid-19 after his win over Mahut.

  • 15h38
    GRIGOR DIMITROV DEFEATS NICOLAS MAHUT

    14-11, 13-15, 15-14, 12-10
  • 15h36
    QUARTER 4: DIMITROV WINS IT 12-10

    Mahut made it close and he had a chance to tie it at the buzzer after closing to within a point with :15 left. But the Frenchman dropped his racquet on his first serve then double-faulted!

  • 15h35
    QUARTER 4: Tied 9-9

    With a 9-7 lead Mahut pulls out the Next Point x2 card...

    And Dimitrov steals both points! The last one with a pulsating forehand pass winner.

  • 15h33
    QUARTER 4: Tied 6-6

    The Bulgarian hammers a forehand winner for a 6-5 lead, but loses the next point.
  • 15h28
    HOT SHOT

    How about this beauty of a pass from Grigor Dimitrov in quarter three?

  • 15h19
    QUARTER 3: Dimitrov wins quarter 3, 15-14!

    It comes down to a deciding point as Dimitrov ties it at 14 at the buzzer.

    And...

    Dimitrov wins it as the buzzer as a Mahut backhand sails long.
  • 15h12
    QUARTER 3: Mahut leads 9-7

    A flashy backhand volley - ah, the Frenchman's net game! - for 8-7 and Mahut leads by a sliver after taking the next point. It's looking like quite a UTS debut for Mahut.
  • 15h05
    QUARTER 2: Mahut takes the quarter 15-13

    It was 13-all with :22 on the clock and Dimitrov played his -1 serve card forcing Mahut to hit two second serves...

    Mahut wins them both! The first with a brilliant first serve, the second thanks to a regrettable Dimitrov error...
  • 15h01
    QUARTER 2: Mahut leads 13-11

    Mahut goes from 9-11 down to 13-11 up with the help of his Next point x2 card. Under a minute to go now.
  • 14h56
    QUARTER 2: Tied 8-8

    Dimitrov makes good on his next point x 2 card and we're level. Mahut goes for a coaching timeout with 3:48 remaining.
  • 14h54
    QUARTER 2: Mahut leads 7-4

    The Frenchman steals serve (though Dimitrov was unhappy because he felt he asked for his card first. No worries, Mahut offers to allow Dimitrov to serve, and the Bulgarian defers) and takes one of two points to lead by three.
  • 14h50
    QUARTER 2: Mahut leads 5-1

    The Musketeer is settling into the format and the court and he's taken an early 5-1 lead. No cards in play just yet in quarter two.
  • 14h46
    QUARTER 1: Dimitrov wins the first quarter, 14-11

    A run at the end by Nicolas Mahut gets him closer, but Dimitrov takes the quarter by three.
  • 14h43
    QUARTER 1: Dimitrov leads 14-10

    The Frenchman takes a crack at his winners x 3 card and scores four points to close the gap to four. But only 30 seconds left now.
  • 14h41
    Quarter 1: Dimitrov leads 10-6

    And Mahut comes back after a timeout to use his next point x 2 card. The Frenchman seems to be enjoying himself except for the heat. But it is the Bulgarian who claims two points in succession to take control of the set.
  • 13h59
    QUARTER 1: Moutet leads 15-13

    Moutet tied it at 13-13 with 1:30 left and he had one use of his next point x 2 card...

    And the Tornado launched a forehand winner to lead 15-13
