Generali Open ATP: Quentin Halys, Sebastian Baez and Mariano Navone all claimed impressive victories over seeded opponents to headline a day of upsets and set up intriguing quarter-final clashes at the Generali Open in Kitzbühel on Wednesday.
Frenchman Halys had one of his best performances of the season, defeating second seed Valentin Vacherot 6-3, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals. The 29-year-old is making his debut at this tournament. He saved the only break point he faced, marking his fifth career win against a Top-20 opponent. This win sends him to his fourth tour-level clay-court quarter-final and ninth overall.
"I think I played well. One of the best matches of my year. I was serving quite well, and maybe he did not play his best match," Halys said. "But still, I am happy with how I played from the first point to the last. I was really focused, made many balls, and made him play many high balls."
