Philipp Kohlschreiber became the first semifinalist at the
Heineken Open when he ousted second seed Nicolas Almagro 7-6
6-4 in a tight match.
The eighth seed had only two break points in the match but
won the key points and was handed victory when Almagro double
faulted on match point.
Kohlschreiber, who won in 2008, will now meet the winner of
the next quarterfinal, between unseeded players Olivier
Rochus and Benoit Paire.
