ATP: Stan Vavrinka beats defending champion Damir Dzumhur in St Petersburg

Stan Vavrinka reaches the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour 250 tournament in St. Petersburg. The Swiss defeated defending champion Damir Dzumhur in two sets.

In the semi-final round of the ATP World Tour 2500 tournament, Martin Klizan, who defeated Denis Shapovalov in three sets despite a set and break deficit, is now waiting. Roberto Bautista-Agut is also in the semi-finals.
