Portugal no longer has representatives at the Vale do Lobo Open II Magnesium-K Active, after Portuguese tennis players Pedro Araújo and Francisco Cabral were eliminated today, Friday, in the competition's quarter-finals.
Two weeks after reaching the quarter-finals of a $25 tournament for the first time, Pedro Araújo (1154th in the ATP ranking) was looking for the first semi-finals but failed to surprise German Sebastian Fanselow (435th), who lives and trains in Lisbon, with whom he lost 6-2 and 7-6(4), after 1h45 of the game.
Francisco Cabral (1114th ATP) played for the first time in the end of singles of his career in competitions with this monetary prize and also lost the match he played against Frenchman Tak Khunn Wang (624th), by the 6-parties 2 and 6-2, in 1:29.
In the remaining matches of the day, former top 70 ATP Kenny de Schepper overcame Austrian Maximilian Neuchrist, by 7-6(1) and 6-2, and Japanese Kaichi Uchida overcame Frenchman Louis Dussin, by 6-0 and 7 -6(6), to confirm the status of first seed.
In the doubles variant, the title will be discussed between four French tennis players: Antoine Escoffier/Hugo Voljacques defeated Jordi Mas de Ugarte/Jose Joaquin Miranda Cisneros, 6-3 and 7-5, while Kenny de Schepper/Quentin Robert beat Alexis Musialek/ Hugo Pontico, by the 6-4 and 6-1 ends.
