Sebastian Korda stepped up his comeback with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Miomir Kecmanovic on Thursday to reach the semifinals of the ATP hardcourt tournament in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The 25-year-old American, out of action since Roland Garros because of a stress fracture in his right shin, improved to 2-1 against the Serb as he builds up to the US Open.
“I think it was a great match,” said Korda, through to the last four for the first time since reaching the Adelaide final in January.
“I thought I executed pretty well, came to the net quite a bit and tried to stay aggressive. Miomir is an unbelievable returner, so a high first-serve per centage was crucial today and I think I served pretty well.”
Korda, seeded 11th, next faces Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, who beat Spain’s Jaume Munar 7-5, 6-3.
