Argentina's Juan Manuel Cerundolo swept the final six games to complete a 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 upset of top-seeded Casper Ruud of Norway on Friday at the EFG Swiss Open Gstaad in Switzerland.

Cerundolo's comeback against the World No. 13 Ruud marked the biggest win of his career by ranking and sent him into the semifinals against Peru's Ignacio Buse, a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 winner over Argentina's Roman Andres Burruchaga.

The other semifinal at the ATP 250 clay-court event pits second-seeded Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan against France's Arthur Cazaux. Bublik defeated No. 7 seed Francisco Comesana of Argentina 6-4, 6-3 in 72 minutes, while Cazaux outlasted home hopeful Jerome Kym 7-6 (3), 3-6, 7-5.
