World No. 7 Stan Wawrinka was knocked out of the Marseille Open on Friday as he went down in the quarterfinals against world No. 59 Sergiy Stakhovsky in three sets.
Ukraine's Stakhovsky carved out a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory over the Swiss former Australian Open winner, and now meets Frenchman Gilles Simon.
World No. 17 Simon shrugged off a slow start to subdue compatriot Jeremy Chardy 7-5, 7-6 (8/6).
In the second semifinal, the seventh seed and home favorite Gael Monfils will play Spaniard Roberto Bautista, the fourth seed, for a place in Sunday's championship match. Endi
