A good recovery for Delpo that was 1 set and 1 break down against an inspired Dolgopolov.
The Argentine was in quite a bad position against Alexandr that had a clear shot to reach the final 4 in Japan. Maybe the key moment of the match was when Delpo broke immediately back the Ukraine in the 4th game of the second set to find the confidence to eventually win the second set.
In the third set the Argentine had a much smooth match to break his opponent twice in the 4th (3-1) and final game (6-2). Match Stats
Next. Vs. Almagro
Delpo wil play in the semifinal Nicolas Almagro that has shattered Nishikori’s dream to defend his title (7-6 (2) 5-7 6-3). Interesting enough this is the first time these two play each other.
