At the2006 Wimbledon tournament, Falla upset ninth seedNikolay Davydenko and at the 2007Sony Ericsson Open he beat ninth seedTommy Haas in straight sets. He reached the semifinals of theGrand Prix de Tennis de Lyon in 2007, beating players such as the fifth seedIvan Ljubičić.

Career

[edit]
Alejandro Falla, 2015 Wimbledon Qualifying

The Colombian became the first player from his country to break into the top 100 of theATP rankings sinceMauricio Hadad in 1996. In 2006, Alejandro qualified a career-high five times into the main draw of ATP tournaments. In his second tournament of the year, he reached the final of theMexico City Challenger. He then went on to earn points for his country in aDavis Cup tie againstParaguay Davis Team. Then later in April, he won the Bogotá Challenger. AtRoland Garros, he reached the second round after defeatingJustin Gimelstob, though he lost toRoger Federer in the second round. A few weeks later atWimbledon, he managed to beatNikolay Davydenko in a four-set thriller. His victory over Davydenko was his first win over a top-10 player, and a first ever for a Colombian player. However, he was then defeated in the second round byPhilipp Kohlschreiber in another four-set match. He then reached the second round in theUS Open. In the first round, he beatJuan Martín del Potro in four sets, before being defeated byDmitry Tursunov in straight sets.

Falla almost caused a sensation in the first round ofWimbledon in 2010, winning the first two sets against defending champion Roger Federer and serving for the match at 5–4 in the fourth set (he was three points away from winning), before Federer eventually won 5–7, 4–6, 6–4, 7–6, 6–0.[2]

His best result in a Grand Slam was in 2011 at the French Open. Falla reached the fourth round, where he lost to the unseededJuan Ignacio Chela.

In the 2014Gerry Weber Open inHalle, Falla rallied to beat 2011 champion Philipp Kohlschreiber 5–7, 7–6 (5), 6–4 to become the first Colombian to reach the final of a grass-court tournament. He lost to six-time championRoger Federer in the final.

Juniors

[edit]

Alejandro Falla made it to the semi-finals in the 2001 French Open, giving a big inspiration to Colombian players aspiring to achieve strong results in junior open tennis.

Doubles

[edit]

In junior doubles at the French Open, he and compatriot Carlos Salamanca defeated the German duo Markus Bayer and Philipp Petzschner, the first junior title won by Colombians in a Grand Slam.
