Arthur Fils advanced to the semifinals of the Cincinnati tournament with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Thiago Agustin Tirante in the quarterfinals. Fils converted 60% of his break points and won 80% of his first-serve points, while Tirante was 0-for on break points. Fils served three aces to Tirante's six and did not commit a double fault, compared to one for Tirante.
Tirante continued his impressive run with another comeback victory, now having beaten Djokovic, Landaluce and Menšík in consecutive matches.
Fils has recovered from earlier-year injury and is moving smoothly through Cincinnati, appearing sound and dangerous in the draw.
