GENEVA: Chilean Nicolas Jarry rallied to upset top-seeded Casper Ruud of Denmark 3-6, 7-6 (2), 7-5 in the quarterfinals of the Gonet Geneva Open on Thursday. Jarry laced 12 aces and won 82.4 percent of his first serves (42 of 51) to advance to the semifinals. He’ll play No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev of Germany, who advanced when China’s Yibing Wu retired in the first set. Zverev was leading 4-1. Second-seeded Taylor Fritz also advanced with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Ilya Ivashka of Belarus in 51 minutes. Fritz draws Bulgarian No. 4 Grigor Dimitrov, a 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-4 winner over Australia’s Christopher O’Connell, in the other semi.

Open Parc Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Lyon: Top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime withdrew prior to his quarterfinal match in Lyon, France, giving Frenchman Arthur Fils the win in a walkover.

Nakashima defeated No. 3 seed and fellow American Tommy Paul 6-3, 7-6 (4). Cameron Norrie of Great Britain will play Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina in the other semi.
