Gerald Melzer is in the semi-finals in Bogota

Things are still going well for Gerald Melzer on the South American tour: On the same day that Melzer was nominated for the Davis Cup final tournament in Innsbruck, the left-hander made it to the semi-finals of the Challenger tournament there in Bogota. Melzer easily beat Nicolas Mejia 6-0 and 6-4. And now he has to deal with a Colombian again, namely Nicolas Barrientos. The local hero got into the main draw of Bogota through qualification.

The 31-year-old Melzer is on position 421 in the current world rankings and plays in Bogota with a protected ranking. The biggest coup in the current tournament was the success against number one Daniel Elahi Galan.
