Washinton, DC ATP 500 - Semifinal
Donald Young d 7 Marcos Baghdatis - 63 76(4)
FINALLY.
After soooooo much hype.
Well earned: Donald has taken down 2 top seeds to gain his 1st ATP tour Sf.
He will face another today as he goes against Radek Stepanek - H2H: 0-0.
This is a great shot at a final. Can he do it?
Currently ranked #128 - today's result should get him back in the top 100.
Suprising stat: Yesterday's win was only his 23rd ATP match win: 23-53.
And he's drawn even for the season: 10-10.
Well done Donald, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for today.
