Turin, 15 August (LaPresse) – Terence Atmane's adventure continues at the Cincinnati Masters 1000. After sending home American Taylor Fritz (ranked No. 4 and seeded No. 4) in the round of 16, the French tennis player also eliminated Denmark's Holger Rune (ranked No. 9 in the ATP rankings and seeded No. 7), beating him 6-2, 6-3. He will now face Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals. "I'm having a lot of fun on the court. It's for moments like these that I train hard every day. It's all positive emotions. I can't wait for Saturday's semi-final. It's going to be a fantastic match,‘ he added in an interview with L'Equipe, talking about his next opponent. ’He's a person with two arms and two legs, just like me. He's world No. 1, he wins Slams, congratulations to him. It will be interesting for me: after beating No. 4 and No. 9, I will be able to measure myself against No. 1. I will see what it's like to play at a very, very high level. I will approach it like any other match because, in any case, I have nothing to lose. I have had nothing to lose since the start of the tournament and nothing will change on Saturday."
