Sixth seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry and the unseeded Luciano Darderi will face off next at the Lyon Open. Their first career meeting will be a semi-final tie with the winner playing Alexander Bublik or Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Tomas Martin Etcheverry has progressed to his third semi-final of the year. He will now hope that the outcome is different from the previous two in his bid for a first tour title. The Argentine, who lost in the semi-finals in Santiago and Barcelona, defeated Dominik Koepfer in straight sets in the quarter-finals. This was the 16th win of a shaky season that has seen him lose 13 times. A positive outcome for Etcheverry ahead of this match is that 14 of his victories have been registered on clay. The 24-year-old is ranked 29th in the ATP.

Luciano Darderi has moved up to 40th in the live ranking which is a new career high. This is after he advanced to his third tour semi-final of the year. Darderi, who won the Colombia Open to earn the first tour title of his career, received a walkover in the last round. Arthur Rinderknech pulled out of their scheduled quarter-final allowing Darderi to advance to his fifth overall semi of the year. The 22-year-old is having an exciting season and has compiled a 25-12 record playing predominantly on clay. Darderi is making his Lyon debut and has won both his matches here without dropping a set. The last time he was on the court, he overpowered third seed Adrian Mannarino by the loss of nine games.
