Good result for Shapo. Stan is coming back into full health and dangerous again.

[britbox]

Now Stefanos is out, I'd like to see Shapo grab a win here. These young kids need to get into the habit of winning things.

Kei beat Richie and 'll meet Medvedev in final

 

[herios]

Medvedev is looking impressive this year and he performed very well in this event.
