Watch: Olivo's Self-Preservation Stab
Two seeds failed to survive the Hamburg quarterfinals.
Renzo Olivo
survived
with his face intact after the stunning self-preservation stab volley in the video above.
Olivo not only prevented facial trauma, he broke serve for 2-all in the final set with that slick stickwork.

Brown's Sliding Set Point Split
Philipp Kohlschreiber
often brings his best on home soil: Five of the veteran's seven career titles have come on German soil.
The 153rd-ranked Olivo saved two match points toppling the top-seeded Kohlschreiber, 1-6, 6-0, 7-5, to spoil the German's homecoming and advance to the German Open semifinals.
Kohlschreiber held match point at 5-3 in the decider then served for the semifinals at 5-4 holding a second match point. Olivo won four games in a row to close out his first trip to an ATP semifinal.
Olivo will face
Pablo Cuevas
in tomorrow's semifinals.
The third-seeded Cuevas cranked 12 aces and permitted just three points on his first serve defeating
Paul-Henri Mathieu
, 7-6 (7), 6-1.
Cuevas, who won back-to-back clay-court titles in Rio and Sao Paulo earlier this season, is playing for his third title of the year and sixth title overall. Cuevas was also runner-up to Steve Johnson the grass of Nottingham last month.
Seventh-seeded Martin Klizan takes on
Stephane Robert
in Saturday's second semifinal.
Robert upset eighth-seeded
Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
, 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-3, in two hours, 28 minutes.
Klizan was a 6-4, 6-3 victor over
Daniel Gimeno-Traver
.
