Qualifier Valentin Vacherot of Monaco has won seven matches to get to the Shanghai semifinals.
On Friday, his cousin, Arthur Rinderknech of France, will attempt to join him. But he’ll have to get past an in-form Félix Auger-Aliassime to do it.
And Daniil Medvedev, who eked out a win against clever young American Learner Tien to get here, will have to grind out another one against No. 7 seed Alex de Minaur to move on.
They’ve played a LOT; this will be their 12th meeting. De Minaur has won on clay, indoor hard and outdoor hard but has won just 4-of-11. He has won the last two (but both were on clay). Medvedev is 5-0 on outdoor hard courts.
(Shanghai is 12 hours ahead of EDT)
