Colombian tennis player Alejandro Falla, ranked 120th in the world, continued his impressive run in the French Open to make it to the fourth round Saturday.

The Cali-born player, who had to go through three qualifying rounds just to reach the main draw, defeated Polish Lukasz Kubot 6-7 (7-4) 6-4 7-5 6-4.

The left-hander’s remarkable run, which had already surpassed his previous efforts at the prestigious clay-court Roland Garros tournament, will now be challenged by an all-South American clash against Argentinian Juan Ignacio Chela.
