HUMBERT AND DAVIDOVICH FOKINA MEET AT THE NET AS HUMBERT RETIRES FROM MATCH STORY: Brazil's Joao Fonseca is in to the final of the Swiss Indoors Basel tournament after beating Spain's Juame Munar in straight sets on Saturday (October 25). He will meet Alejandro Davidovich Fokina after the Spaniard qualified following the fifth retirement in 24 hours in Switzerland. Fonseca won his match 7-6(4) 7-5 to ensure the 19-year-old reached the first ATP tour final of his career. Meanwhile, Davidovich Fokina has made it to the final after his semi-final and quarter-final opponents retired. France's Ugo Humbert needed a medical timeout in the first set and after losing two breaks in the second, signalled he would not be playing on. Three of the four quarter-finals scheduled for Friday (October 24) ended with retirements and it comes after women's world number two Iga Swiatek called the calendar "relentless" and warned she may skip mandatory events to prioritise health in the future. Earlier this week ATP chairman Andrea Gaudenzi defended men's tennis' crowded calendar, saying scheduling remains the players' choice and that the tour is working to set clearer incentives so the right number of matches are played across the season.
