GSTAAD, Switzerland, July 29 (UPI) -- Top-seeded and defending champion Nicolas Almagro won two matches Friday in claiming a semifinal berth at the Swiss Open tennis tournament.
Almagro's second-round match Thursday was suspended because of rain after five games so he led off Friday's play with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 win over Jarkko Nieminen to earn the right to play a quarterfinals match.
