Jurgen Melzer came into the French Open without any expectation but now he is expecting a lot after reaching his first career semifinal at a Grand Slam. He reached the quarterfinals and it was his best run to a slam, but now he broke his own record.
It was not easy either because he lost the first two sets and everyone thought the run was going to end here. Miraculously, he stormed back in the third, escaped the third set in the tiebreak, and won with only one break in the fifth.
He will next face Rafael Nadal in the semifinal.
