Jordan Thompson has come back from the brink in Mexico, overcoming a first-set flop then saving three match points to book a semi-final berth at the Los Cabos Open.
The in-form Australian lost the first nine games of his quarter-final to American teenager Alex Michelsen and was facing two break points at 1-4 in the second set before rallying to an extraordinary 0-6 7-6 (7-1) 7-5 victory.
Thompson saved all three match points in the second-set tiebreaker and overcame a service break in the third set to cap his great escape and clinch a place in the final four.
