He has now reached five semifinals on the surface. Van Rijthoven had never won an ATP level match until this week, but the Dutch wild card now has three wins under his belt after victories over Matthew Ebden (7-6(4), 7-6(9)), Taylor Fritz (6-7(9), 7-5, 6-4) and Hugo Gaston (7-6(2), 6-4). “I am surprised to be in the semi-finals at an ATP event,” 25-year-old Van Rijthoven said, according to ATPTennis.com. “I think the performance overall today was very good from my side. I served very well again. One game I had chances on his serve and I took the chance and served it out.”
