Top-seeded David Ferrer(Above) of Spain rallied from a set down Thursday night to defeat Argentine Juan Monaco 2-6, 7-5, 6-2 and reach the semifinals of the Mexican Open.
Ferrer's countryman Nicolas Almagro(Below) also advanced with a 7-6 (0), 5-7, 6-4 win over Colombian Santiago Giraldo, moving within two victories of winning his third straight ATP title.
Ferrer saved 10 of the 14 break points he faced and overcame six double faults to win the 2-hour, 43-minute match that started late Thursday and didn't finish until well past midnight.
