Gael is trying to get back!

Now ranked world no 109, the Frenchman is trying to climb up in the rankings and he is on the right path. Last week he won the Challenger title in Bordeaux beating Llodra in the final, now he is a clear shot at the title in Nice.

It took only 66 minutes for Gael to defeat Robin Haase and to play with a surprising Andujar that has upset Simon 6-4 7-5 in the quarters.

In the other semifinal Alber Montanes will take on French Wild-Card Edouard Roger-Vasselin.
