In the men’s semifinals, Viktor Troicki of Serbia and Mikhail Kukushkin advanced to tomorrow’s final. Troicki beat Gilles Muller 6-2, 6-4 and Kukushkin defeated Leonardo Mayer of Argentina 6-4, 6-4.
Alexandr Dolgopolov retired injured from the Kooyong exhibition tournament in Melbourne with a right-knee injury, handing Spain’s Fernando Verdasco the title and placing the Ukrainian player’s Australian Open appearance in doubt.
