The second semi-final at the Adelaide tournament on Friday morning will be between Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic and American Sebastian Korda.

Miomir Kecmanovic is having a great week in Adelaide. Coming off the back of a second-round elimination in Hong Kong last week, the Serb had high expectations of his visit to Australia. And the least we can say is that the Balkan tennis player has shown his strength since the start of the tournament. After defeating Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik, Australia's Christopher O'Connell and France's Benjamin Bonzi without dropping a set, Miomir Kecmanovic was the boss of the court in all his matches to reach the semi-finals. On Friday morning, the Serb will face Sebastien Korda for a place in Saturday's final.

The American made his comeback this week after a 4-month absence due to an elbow injury. But it's still difficult to know the real level of the world's 22nd-ranked player. Seeded number 2, Sebastian Korda dominated Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on his return, before taking advantage of Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis' withdrawal in the quarter-finals. Only one match played in 4 months for the American, who still needs to find his rhythm and reassure himself physically before the Australian Open.
