With this, Juan Monaco hits the Top 25 — we show him at #24.

Singles – Semifinal: (7) C Berlocq def. (2) J Chela 6-3 4-6 6-0

This is already starting to look as if it might be the best year of Carlos Berlocq’s career. It has been half a decade since his last semifinal, and he had never before made a final! He costs Juan Ignacio Chela the chance to rise above #24.

Doubles – Semifinal: Gil/Gimeno-Traver def. Giraldo/M Gonzalez 7-6(7-4) 3-6 10-3 (Match TB)
