Klizan beats Fognini, reaches QF

The Slovak Martin Klizan defeated the Italian Fabio Fognini in R2 of St. Petersburg Open 2018 – 6/3, 6/4.

Klizan made one break in every set and didn’t drop his service in a re-match of St. Petersburg Open 2012 final.

«It was a good match, I’m happy with today’s result. I want to thank everybody who stayed on the arena after Mikhail Youzhny’s match, because it’s quite late. My next match is on Friday, so I have time to rest, work with my physio, so I will be ready for it», – said Martin.

Klizan will vie for a place in SF with the winner of the match Denis Shapovalov vs. Matteo Berrettini.
