Four relatively unheralded players are into the semifinals of the ATP Winston-Salem Open, here is your look at all the semifinal action from this hard court tournament.
Carlos Alcaraz vs Mikael Ymer
Ymer won their only meeting at the Australian Open earlier this year, the Swedish player has made the quarterfinals or better of his last three tournaments, including an upset of Frances Tiafoe in the quarterfinals. Alcaraz has won some tough matches this week and continued his momentum from a recent title in Umag. Given the surface, I would be more confident in Ymer having an edge. Ymer in 2
Ilya Ivashka vs Emil Ruusuvuori
This pair have split h2h meetings, Ivashka has had a big week, upsetting Marin Cilic and Pablo Carreno Busta to reach this stage, Ruusuvuori got past French players Benoit Paire and Richard Gasquet in his last two matches. This is his second semifinal of the hard court Summer. Ivashka won their last meeting on clay in Munich and looks to be playing slightly better. Ivashka in 3
