Adrian Mannarino overcame 12 aces to defeat fellow Frenchman Arthur Gea in the quarterfinals of the Open Occitanie on Friday in Montpellier, France.
The wild card Gea won the first set thanks to a lost serve from Mannarino, but Mannarino was able to win the match in just more than 2 1/2 hours, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. Mannarino was one of two Frenchmen to come away victorious on Friday, as qualifier Titouan Droguet's 21 aces lifted him to a convincing victory over fourth-seeded Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (1).
Top-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada smashed 12 aces to come away with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over his French opponent Arthur Fils.
American qualifier Martin Damm defeated Italy's Luca Nardi in a 6-3, 7-6 (8) battle, and will face Mannarino in the semifinals on Saturday. Auger-Aliassime will face Droguet immediately after.
