The field at the 2025 Qatar Open has filtered down to four names, who are set to take to the court for their respective semifinal encounters on Friday (February 21). Two of them are seeded players.
While fifth seed Andrey Rublev will take on Felix Auger-Aliassime in his last-four encounter, eighth seed Jack Draper will slug it out against Jiri Lehecka for a spot in the summit clash.
Rublev was one of the early victors on the semifinal day, dramatically beating Alex De Minaur. The Russian claimed victory on his eighth match point, with the final scoreline reading 6-1, 3-6, 7-6(8).
His opponent, meanwhile, won via retirement. Auger Aliassime was leading against Daniil Medvedev by a set when the latter decided to pull the plug on the match.
Lehecka and Draper too came through thrilling wins to book their respective semifinal spots. The former was at his explosive best when he took out top seed Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Draper, on the other hand, overcame a slow start to prevail over Matteo Berrettini.
The four men are now gunning for a spot in the final. As we head towards the action, here’s how everything will unravel on Day 5 of the 2025 Qatar Open:
