(6) Jurgen Melzer def. (11) Albert Montanes 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-2
Sixth seed Jurgen Melzer made the final eight in Barcelona, having rallied his way to a three-set victory over 11th seed Albert Montanes. The 29-year-old Austrian saved 13 of 15 break points en route to a 6-7(2), 6-3, 6-2 victory in two hours and 4 minutes. Melzer, who will face 4th seed David Ferrer for the second time in as many weeks, tallied 7 aces during the match.
“I started off really well (in the Monte-Carlo semifinal) and then lost the momentum and my game. So, it’s nice to get the chance a week later to play him again and I’ll try my best to make it a little better than last week.
“I’m happy with my clay-court season so far, reaching the semis in Monte-Carlo and then being already in the quarterfinal here,” Melzer said. “I’ve been beating good players lately on clay and my confidence is high. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the clay-court season."
