Persistence pays off. At 27 years old, Carlos Taberner reaches his first ATP semifinals after defeating Jesper De Jong 7-5, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of Umag in an hour and 35 minutes. The Spaniard won't have much time to celebrate as he awaits the winner between Damir Dzumhur and Titouan Droguet in the semifinals. Whatever happens tomorrow, Taberner returns to the Top 100 and positions himself as number 92 in the ATP Ranking. If he makes it to the final, he would surpass his best ranking, reaching the 84th spot, and if he clinches the title, he would become the 75th in the world.
