Barankis first Lithuanian player into quarters

Question

Ricardas Berankis has become the first Lithuanian-born player to reach the quarter-finals of an ATP World Tour Tournament at the SAP Open in San Jose. Berankis reached the quarters with a 7-6(5), 6-3 victory over Bjorn Phau in the second round.

Answer 1

That set up a quarter-final match against second seed Fernando Verdasco. Can’t see Berankis becoming the first Lithuanian-born player to reach the semis with that match-up.
