Hyeon Chung advanced to the BMW Open by FWU semi-finals for the second successive year on Friday to continue his quest for a first tour-level trophy. The fourth-seeded South Korean defeated Slovakian qualifier and 2014 champion Martin Klizan 6-3, 6-4 in 79 minutes for his 20th match win of the season (20-7).
“I’m really happy to make the semi-finals two years in a row,” said Chung. “It was really tough against a lefty, tough from the baseline and it forced me to focus all the time.”
The 21-year-old Chung beat Klizan in Munich for the second successive year, breaking on three occasions in the first set. Serving at 4-5, 30/30 in the second set, Klizan hit a double fault and struck a forehand long. Chung will next face a German in top seed and defending champion Alexander Zverev or Yannick Hanfmann.
