Meanwhile, in Mexico…

The semi-finals are set to go later today in Acapulco. First up, No.3 seed Nicolas Almagro (ESP) will take on Thomaz Bellucci (BRA). In the other semi, top seed David Ferrer (ESP) will face No.6 seed Alexandr Dolgopolov (UKR).

Of all the semifinalists, only Dolgopolov was able to win their quarterfinal match in straight sets. Dolgopolov upset fourth seed Stanislas Wawrinka (SUI) last night, 6-4, 7-6(6). Each of the other three quarterfinal matches went the distance, including Ferrer's match against Argentinian Juan Manco which lasted a whopping 2 hours and 43 minutes. For a complete breakdown of the matches, check out this article.

Alexandr Dolgopolov hasn't been pushed to 3 sets yet in this tournament, so he should be pretty fresh for his match with David Ferrer. Almagro is riding high on an impressive winning streak and is carrying a lot of momentum into his semifinal against Bellucci.

If I understand the Rogers Sportsnet schedule correctly, the first semi-final from Acapulco will air on Sportsnet One starting at 6:00PM ET, and the second semi will air on Sportsnet Pacific at 10:00PM ET. At least that's how it looks at the moment. Not certain if what they're showing on the Pacific channel is a replay of an early round because the description given on my cable guide says "Live, quarterfinal-round play". Guess we'll find out soon enough.
