by ATP Staff |12.07.2013

Thiemo de Bakker kept his nerve on Friday to record the biggest win of his career at the SkiStar Swedish Open.

De Bakker defeated top seed and World No. 6 Tomas Berdych 7-5, 7-5 in just over two hours.

The World No. 104 has now beaten three Top 10 players in the Emirates ATP Rankings, including No. 9 Fernando Verdasco at the 2010 Shanghai Rolex Masters and No. 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the 2010 Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.

De Bakker, who saved four match points to beat sixth seed Viktor Troicki on Thursday, goes onto face Carlos Berlocq, who overcame Albert Ramos 6-3, 3-6, 6-0.
