France's Hugo Gaston stunned ninth-ranked Alex de Minaur in three sets to record his first career top 10 win and make the semifinals of the Antwerp ATP tournament on Friday.
The 77th-ranked Gaston came through 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 to register his second win over the Australian having also prevailed at the 2022 French Open.
"It was really close. Alex is such a great player, playing unbelievable tennis this year and in the past few years," said Gaston.
Gaston will next face Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut who defeated third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8/6).
