From my viewpoint it looked like Inaki ran out of his energy reserve after coming back to win set 2 and was too cooked to stay competitive after that.
Liam was laser focused in the deciding set and hardly made any basic or silly error at all. Just moving the Spainard all over the court and then pouncing on a short reply or eventually forcing an error.
Both Liam and Big Gabe look like they have tough semifinal matches coming up. Diallo faces Dominik Koepfer who is pretty much a regular ATPer now and has a super solid game. Liam meanwhile has some guy named Andres Martin who has been playing at an unreal level in this tournament (probably an unsustainable level for the Yank). So hopefully Liam will maintain this level he's been showing for this match.
