The pairing will meet on Saturday in the semi-finals, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
Lacko has emerged from a difficult section of the draw, brushing aside challenges from top seed Lukas Lacko and eighth seed Michael Berrer. His quarter-final win against Berrer was a lengthy three setter, and there’s a chance that this will have taken a lot out of him.
Dancevic had an easier time in the last eight, as he got past Jan Minar in straight sets (7-5, 6-2). The Canadian has upset the odds so far this week, and he particularly impressed the fans with his second round success against fifth seed Matthew Ebden,
Lacko and Dancevic have met four times over the past two seasons, and are tied at 2-2 in their head to head record. Lacko beat Dancevic last week in Ortisei, but the lightning fast conditions there may have simply suited the Slovakian’s game better. This upcoming clash seems likely to be a close contest.
