Bellier’s Improbable Run Continues
This has already been a week to remember for the 25-year old Bellier, who came through the qualifying competition to reach the quarter-finals, in the process defeating both Federico Delbonis, and then the fourth seed Pablo Carreno-Busta.
And he showed he is not quite ready to stop yet with a determined performance against Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands, the world number 53, to reach his first ever ATP semi-final.
The first set was largely dominated by serve until the eleventh game when Bellier offered up two break points, the second of which Griekspoor took, and then consolidated next game.
Bellier then saved four break points in the opening game of the second set, and would eventually hold three set points, none of which he could convert. And, when he went a mini-break down in the tie-break, things looked bleak for him. But he rallied, broke back and then broke again to take the match into a third set.
The crucial moment came when Griekspoor was broken in the third game of the third set. Bellier had his nose in front for the first time, and was clearly determined not to let the advantage slip. Another break took the pressure off him. and he was able to clinch the win on his second match point.
