In the fourth set, Kolshireber made a break in the last minute to take the 6:4 part and extend the match. In the decisive fifth set, Ferrer broke the lead and led 2:0 and 3:1, but Kolshireber turned the score to 4:3 to his advantage. At 5:5, the German did not stand and lost his turn, and Ferrer with his serve put a point in the 12th game, which he took at 15.
In the semifinals, Spain will play with France. In the other semi-final, Croatia will score strength with the United States.
