There will not be a third consecutive Dutch champion at Lib\u00e9ma Open. Both Tallon Griekspoor and Gijs Brouwer were beaten on the Brabant grass by Sebastian Korda and Ugo Humbert respectively.<\/p>
Griekspoor, last year’s champion, faced a player in form in the talented Korda and had to acknowledge his superiority after just over an hour of play, 6-2 6-4. Korda is in his seventh final at the highest level, first on grass and also the first American in the final match in ‘s-Hertogenbosch since 1996.<\/p>
Korda is seeded seventh and, like the Dutchman, feels at home on grass. ‘The crowd was very respectful and I am happy to be here,’ the 23-year-old said after his win over the home hero, who was loudly cheered from the stands.<\/p>
In the final match, Korda will face either first series leader Alex de Minaur or Ugo Humbert. The latter Frenchman finished his quarterfinal match against Brouwer on court 1 on Saturday: 4-6 6-3 6-3. This ended the fairytale of the Dutchman, who had advanced to the last eight from the qualifiers.<\/p>
In turn, the left-handed Humbert is the third series leader and will have to play again on Saturday for his semi-final against top-10 player De Minaur. De Australian already settled with service canon Milos Raonic a day earlier.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
