"It was really solid; I served well the whole match," Fritz said, who had 13 aces compared to five for the eighth-seeded Wolf. "Whenever I was in trouble, I played a lot of good points. I just did what I was supposed to do and didn't really give him much."Vukic rallied back to defeat No. 7 seed Ugo Humbert of France 3-6, 7-6 , 7-5.No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev of Germany advanced to the final with an easy 6-2, 6-4 victory over Arthur Fils of France.
