Washington: Former world number three David Nalbandian, who missed the past six Grand Slam events with injuries, reached his first ATP semi-final in 18 months at the Washington Classic.
The Argentine rallied to oust Frenchman Gilles Simon 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 and will play for a spot in Sunday's final against Croatian fourth seed Marin Cilic, who beat Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 7-6 (7/4), 6-4.
Nalbandian was sidelined nine months after hip surgery, made a brief return early this year, then missed two months with a sore hamstring.
