Teenager Lorenzo Musetti beats Aljaz Bedene to reach Lyon Open semi-finals

19-year-old Lorenzo Musetti defeated Aljaz Bedene in straight sets to reach the semi-finals of the Lyon Open on Friday.

The Italian took the opening set 6-3, and recovered from 5-2 down in the second to force a tie break which he comfortably won 7-2 to book his place in the last four of the ATP 250 tournament.

Musetti will face second seed Stefanos Tsitsipas - who needed just one hour and six minutes to overcome Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka 6-3 6-4 - in the last four.

The two met for the first time at the same stage of the Mexican Open in Acapulco in March, which the Greek won 6-1 6-3 before losing to Alexander Zverev in the final.
