Alejandro Falla of Colombia is this year's French Open 2011 Breakout Player. Although already a veteran player, Falla's current ranking of #120 makes him the lowest ranked player this year to get to the fourth round. His dream run here could easily propel him back to the Top 100 when rankings are released a week from now. Today, Falla defeated Lukasz Kubot of Poland, the guy who took out Nicolas Almagro in the first round. He will next meet Juan Ignacio Chela, and both will slug it out to find out who among them will reach the quarterfinals for the first time in their careers.
