The 33-year-old Czech fell to No. 79 in ATP Rankings on 28 January, his lowest position since No. 79 on 16 August 2004, after missing more than six months due to injury. But back in form, he will next play seventh seed Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France on Saturday. Herbert held his nerve to beat third-seeded #NextGenATP Canadian Denis Shapovalov 7-5, 7-6(4) in one hour and 44 minutes.

The Frenchman is currently at a career-high No. 44 in the ATP Rankings, and he is into his fifth tour-level semi-final. Herbert completed the Career Grand Slam in doubles with partner Nicolas Mahut last month at the Australian Open.

Herbert defeated Tomas Berdych 6-2, 7-5 to advance to his third ATP Tour singles final. The World No. 44 won 84 per cent of first-serve points (27/32) to record his eighth win in 10 tour-level matches this season after one hour and 33 minutes.

"I am just really happy about my match today," said Herbert. "It was a tough battle against Tomas and I am really happy to come off the court as the winner in front of my home crowd. Being in a final in France means a lot to me."

Herbert has held 41 of 44 service games and saved 15 of 18 break points so far in Montpellier. The 27-year-old is aiming to lift his first tour-level singles trophy after runner-up finishes at Winston-Salem in 2015 (l. to Anderson) and Shenzhen in 2018 (l. to Nishioka).

Read & Watch Hot Shots: Herbert Upsets Nishikori For Third Top 10 Win

Spoiler:

Frenchman, who is focusing more on singles in 2019, faces Coric on Thursday

Pierre-Hugues Herbert stunned last year's finalist Kei Nishikori 7-5, 6-4 at the Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Wednesday to reach the third round for the first time.

The Open Sud de France runner-up found his best level in the big moments, saving all 10 break points he faced to advance after one hour and 42 minutes. Herbert's first victory over Nishikori in three FedEx ATP Head2Head encounters is also the Frenchman's first Top 10 victory on clay. Herbert owns a 3-11 overall record against Top 10 opposition.

"This was a very nice victory. Probably one of the nicest on clay and probably one of the nicest of my career, so I am really excited about it," said Herbert.

"I'm very happy for this victory, but we shouldn't exaggerate. I had 10 break points that I had to save and I'm happy that I managed to play good in the difficult points. It was tricky, because it wouldn't have taken much for him to take the advantage."


Herbert will meet ninth seed Borna Coric for a place in the quarter-finals. The World No. 49, who is aiming to reach his third quarter-final this year, lost his only previous FedEx ATP Head2Head clash against Coric at the 2017 Mutua Madrid Open. Alongside his run to the Open Sud de France championship match (l. to Tsonga), Herbert opened his season with a run to the last eight at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open (l. to Berdych).

"[Coric] has spent lots of time on clay, so it's going to be a big challenge tomorrow for me," said Herbert. "Again, I'm not going to be the favourite, of course, but on my side, I also won two difficult matches, so why not?"

On Court 2, Cameron Norrie captured his 10th tour-level victory of the season (10-8). The 23-year-old, who reached the ASB Classic final in January (l. to Sandgren), defeated Marton Fucsovics 7-6(3), 6-3.

Norrie will face Lorenzo Sonego for a quarter-final berth. The Italian qualifier stunned eighth seed Karen Khachanov 7-6(4), 6-4 on Tuesday.
