Corentin Moutét reached the final of the tennis tournament in Mallorca. The Frenchman overcame Alex Michelsen of the United States 6-4, 7-6 (3) in nearly two hours of play.
The 83rd-ranked Moutét overcame several crises and saved eight of the ten points to finally break down the third-ranked American. He also finished with 7/8 net points won.
Ultimately, the French tennis player will play in his first ATP final in over five years, and his rival for the title will be Tallon Griekspoor. The Dutchman stopped Felix Auger-Aliassime after 6-4, 6-4. Moutét is a potential opponent of Grigor Dimitrov in the second round of Wimbledon.
Meanwhile, the tournament in Eastbourne will have an all-American dispute for the trophy. Taylor Fritz will be chasing a fourth title and the final obstacle on the way to the cup is his compatriot Jenson Brooksby, who is 149th in the world and entered the tournament as a "lucky loser". Interestingly, in two of his three previous titles in Eastbourne, Fritz defeated compatriots - Sam Querrey in 2019 and Maxime Cressy three years later. | BGNES
