🇫🇷 Alex Lanier and 🇫🇷 Christo Popov continue to carry the European flag in S750+ men’s singles semifinals, extending the continent’s streak that began at the Denmark Open 2024. Lanier secures back-to-back semifinals at this tournament—matching 🇨🇳 Shi Yu Qi’s achievement. Popov also reaches his second S750 semifinal, both achieved in 2025.
