Radek Stepanek - Semi-finalist: ATP Brisbane International

Radek Stepanek is off to a good start in 2011, reaching his first semi-final this year at the Brisbane International.  There, he loses to eventual champion, Robin Soderling 63 75.  This was his path to the semi-finals -

SF - lost to Robin Soderling (SWE) (#4) 63 75
QF - Florian Mayer (GER) (#37) 63 63
2R - Mardy Fish (USA) (#16) 63 61
1R - Tobias Kamke (GER) (#67) 57 61 64

After a slight hiccup in the first round, Radek handled the next two rounds well against players ranked higher than me, only to fall in the semifinals to the eventual champion.
