"There were difficult moments physically and I was lucky with the break points in the first set,” Andujar said post-match, as revealed on the ATP website. “I am very happy to be in the semi-finals. I am happy to have so many good memories here and the people are great. I don’t have much power as some players, so the altitude helps me."

The Spaniard then broke Umag champion Lajovic in the seventh game of the second set and held on to his serve to seal the win.
