Canada’s Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger-Aliassime suffered semifinal losses Saturday at warmup events ahead of Wimbledon.
Shapovalov, the No. 2 seed from Richmond Hill, Ont., dropped a 7-5, 6-3 decision to Britain’s Cameron Norrie at the Fever-Tree Championships in London.
Norrie will meet Matteo Berrettini in Sunday’s final after the top-seeded Italian defeated Australia’s Alex de Minaur 6-4, 6-4.
Meanwhile, Auger-Aliassime dropped a 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (5) decision to Ugo Humbert of France in a battle of unseeded players at the Noventi Open in Halle, Germany.
Russia’s Andrey Rublev, the No. 4 seed, defeated Georgia’s Nikoloz Basilashvili 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 in the other semifinal. Rublev and Humbert will meet in the final on Sunday.
Auger-Aliassime, from Montreal, defeated Swiss star Roger Federer earlier in the week.
Main draw play at Wimbledon begins June 28.
