The decisive third set was on serve until
Harris broke for a 5-3 lead, and he served out the match in the
ensuing game.
Harris, who is ranked 81st in the world, is in search of his
first career ATP Tour title. His semifinal foe will be
third-seeded Canadian Denis Shapovalov, who beat France's Jeremy
Chardy 7-5, 6-4 on Thursday.
The other semifinal will feature an all-Russian matchup of
second-seeded Andrey Rublev and Aslan Karatsev. Rublev topped
Hungary's Marton Fucsovics 7-5, 6-2, and Karatsev rallied past
16th-seeded Italian Jannik Sinner 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-2.
Abierto Mexicano Telcel
Second-seeded German Alexander Zverev became the first player to
reach the semifinals in Acapulco, Mexico, and he didn't have to
contest a point. Eighth-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway withdrew
due to a right wrist injury sustained in warmups, giving Zverev
a walkover victory.
Zverev will face German countryman Dominik Koepfer in the
semifinals. Koepfer beat Great Britain's Cameron Norrie 7-5,
6-4.
Top-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece needed more than two
hours to win his quarterfinal match, a 7-5, 4-6, 6-3 win over
seventh-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada. Tsitsipas next
will oppose Italian qualifier Lorenzo Musetti, who defeated
fifth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-4, 7-6 (3). Musetti
needed seven match points to complete the upset.
