Pablo Carreno Busta vs. Daniel Evans Predictions: The Fight For The Semi-Final Spot

At the National Bank Open, Dan Evans fell behind Tommy Paul after dropping the first set 6-1, but he came back to get to the semifinals. Evans will now play Pablo Carreno Busta, who defeated Jack Draper in straight sets.

Paul got out to a fast start, winning the first set 6-1, but the British number two battled back to tie it up at 6-3 before winning the third set 6-4 to advance. By defeating Jack Draper, Pablo Carreno Busta, 31, ended the chance of an all-British semi-final and secured his place against Evans. He was the only player in Montreal to avoid dropping a set.

The 20-year-old put up a good fight, but the Spaniard prevailed 7-6, 6-1, leaving his younger opponent to reflect on a week in which he advanced to his first Masters quarterfinal and defeated world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Daniel, who is ranked no. 39, advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Taylor Harry Fritz 7-65 1-6 7-5, Filip Krajinovic 6-2 1-6 6-0, and Andrey Rublev 6-4 6-4.

The Brit overcame Fritz in the third round (7-65 1-6 7-5). Evans outscored Fritz with 106 points during the game. Evans was quite forceful in his attack on 53 wins.

Dan Evens advances to the Nationwide Financial Institution Open semifinals in Montreal by defeating American Tommy Paul 1-6, 6-3, 6-4.

However, due to Pablo Carreno Busta's victory in straight sets over Jack Draper in Montreal, Sunday's semi-final will not include just British players. Daniel Evans will lose his berth in the semifinals against Pablo, who is in outstanding form.
