Rodionov had to go the full distance against Arthur Cazaux and Tomas Etcheverry in the first two rounds, but the left-hander's tank was empty against tournament favorite Tommy Paul. Paul won 6:4 and 6:2 and plays in the semifinals against David Goffin, who was able to hold his own against youngster Arthur Fils in the tie-break of the third set.

Sebastian Ofner faced Tomas Barrios Vera in the quarterfinals in Prague and defeated the Chilean 6:2 and 7:5. On Saturday the Styrian will face Lukas Klein from Slovakia.
