The best Italian tennis players Fabio Fognini and Andreas Seppi are the first semifinalists of 24. Vegeta Croatia Open. Both of them reached the semifinals very quickly: Fognini beat Slovak Marin Kližan in an hour and 10 minutes and two sets (6:4, 6:2), while the Argentinean Horacio Zeballos surrendered the match due to inter-rib muscle pain with the score 6:5 for Seppi.

In the semifinals, Fognini will play the winner of the match between Alberto Montanes and Gael Monfils, while Seppi will go on to the winner of the Slovenian-Spanish clash Tommy Robredo-Aljaž Bedene.
