No. 4 seed Alejandro Tabilo of Chile rallied past French sixth seed Gael Monfils 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (3) in the semifinals of the Mallorca Championships on Friday in Spain.
Tabilo reached his third final of the season, one on each surface -- hard court, clay and grass. After he absorbed Monfils' 12 aces and won 40 of 49 first-serve points (81.6 percent), Tabilo seeks his second career title after winning the season opener in Auckland, New Zealand.

Fritz, who won this event in 2019 and 2022, smashed 15 aces with only one double fault on Friday. Both tiebreakers were close, as Vukic tied it 5-5 in the first set and drew within 5-4 in the second before Fritz pulled away both times.
Fritz will square off with another Australian, qualifier Max Purcell, in the final. Purcell defeated British wild card Billy Harris 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Harris had a 37-21 advantage in winners but also committed triple the number of unforced errors as Purcell (27 to 9).
