There will be three Swiss in the quarter-finals of the Lugano Challenger Friday. The Zurich man Leandro Reedi (ATP 590) joined Jérôme Kym and Marc-Andrea Hüsler on Thursday, easily dominating the Frenchman Dan Added (ATP 209) 6-4, 6-2.
Titled in Trimbach (M25) a fortnight ago, quarter-finalist in Biel last week, Leandro Riedi confirms his good ascending form in Ticino. He will find another Zurich resident Marc-Andrea Hüsler (ATP 183) on Friday for a place in the semi-finals, synonymous with 29 precious ATP points.
Added to this 100% Swiss duel is the satisfaction Jérôme Kym (1025 ATP). The 19-year-old from Aargau took full advantage of the confidence built up in qualifying to score two prestigious successes in the main draw. He will challenge the Italian Luca Nardi (ATP 297) on Friday. And the energy with which he gets into the ball this week in Lugano is reminiscent of that of Dominic Stricker, titled in this room last year.
