EASTBOURNE, England, June 20 (UPI) -- No. 2-seeded Gilles Simon and seventh-seeded Andreas Seppi advanced to semifinals Thursday of the Aegon International tennis tournament in England.
Simon got by Bernard Tomin 7-6 (10-8), 6-3 in a relatively quick 71 minutes. Simon lost his serve once but made up for it by taking the lengthy first-set tiebreaker. He had the only break of the second set.
