Jerome Kim (ATP 278) defeated the Belgian Joris De Loore (ATP 192) in the semi-final in 90 minutes 6:3, 7:6 (7:4). Kim has already beaten three significantly higher-ranked opponents this week. At Challenger tournaments this season, Kym has already achieved tournament victories in Prostejov and a semi-final (as a qualifier) in Bratislava.

There will be no Swiss final in Zug. Roman Andres Burruchaga (ATP 146) eliminated Marc-Andrea Hüsler 3:6, 6:1, 6:4. Burruchaga is the son of the great Argentinian footballer Jorge Burruchaga, who scored Argentina's late 3:2 winning goal against Germany in the 1986 World Cup final in México City.
