World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas will meet teenager Lorenzo Musetti in this weekend`s Lyon ATP semi-finals after they won their last eight ties on Friday. Greece`s Tsitsipas eased past Japan`s Yoshihito Nishioka 6-3, 6-4 in 66 minutes for a career best 31st win of the season. The two-time Grand Slam semi-finalist is favourite for the Lyon title on clay just nines days from the start of the French Open. 

"It was a good match from my side, he was serving well," 22-year-old Tsitsipas said. "His game is a little unpredictable and he is one of the best left-handers out there. I knew he was going to fight and not give up. "Tomorrow is going to be serious business and I know he (Musetti) can play well on this surface and elevate his game," he added. Italian 19-year-old Musetti overcame world number 55 Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 7-6 (7/2) to claim his last four spot. "He (Tsitsipas) is one of the best guys on Tour," Musetti said on Friday.
