Musetti vs. Fritz
Musetti lost the second set and was down in the third set against Humbert, but he bounced back to become the first Italian semi-finalist since Fabio Fognini in Stockholm 2018.
The Italian is 10-2 on indoor hard courts this season. He won the title in Lyon last month and defeated Alexander Zverev in the third round of the Paris Masters 1000. He added Stockholm to his schedule in preparation for the Davis Cup final in Bologna.
Fritz didn’t have to hit a ball Thursday. Rooney exited minutes before the quarterfinals with a minor hamstring injury sustained in a second-round win over Miomir Ketsmanovic.
The world number 10 reached his seventh semi-final of the season and third in four weeks. Only Zverev (12), Daniil Medvedev (10), Carlos Alcaraz and Yannick Sinner (7 each) have achieved as many in 2026. The American is also chasing a fifth straight season inside the top 10 of the year.
Tabillo vs Tirante
Tabillo defeated sixth seed Alex Michelsen 7-5, 7-6 (2) in 1 hour 54 minutes, saving six of the seven break points he faced. It is his fourth ATP Tour semifinal of the season and his first on indoor hard courts. He is the second Chilean to reach the last four in Stockholm since Marcelo Rios in 2002. He also avenged his only previous loss to Michelsen at the Masters 1000 in Miami in March.
Tirante ended qualifier Alexander Shevchenko’s run, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 6-3, in 2 hours and 49 minutes. The Argentine needed just one break in the third set at 2-1. “It was a great fight against one of my friends on tour,” he said. It’s his third ATP Tour semifinal and his first on hard courts. Shevchenko, who defeated reigning champion Kasper Rudi in the second round, was the first Kazakh to reach the quarterfinals in Stockholm.
