ZAGREB INDOORS

For a place in the final Garcia-Lopez will face Ivan Dodig, who prevailed in an all-Croatian contest with second seed Ivan Ljubicic, 6-4, 6-4. World No. 84 Dodig hit eight aces and saved all four break points he faced to dismiss the 2006 Zagreb champion in one hour and 49 minutes.

The 26-year-old Dodig, who was the only player to take a set off Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open (in the second round), is through to his career-first ATP World Tour semi-final.
