VIDEOS: Klizan runs the gamut of emotions during insane semifinal win over Mahut

Martin Klizan fended off three match points in his roller-coaster semifinal win over Nicolas Mahut in Rotterdam on Saturday, just a day after saving five in his quarterfinal win over Roberto Bautista Agut.

It was an emotional match for Klizan - who'll play for just his fourth ATP title on Sunday - and each of his emotions was adorned on his sleeve throughout.

Mahut served for the match at 7-6, 5-3, but, like Bautista Agut before him, he couldn't close it out. Klizan broke, and celebrated as if he'd just won Wimbledon.

Klizan went on to win the set and the match, but not without some cathartic lunacy along the way, including: an epic racket smash, a 30-foot-high racket chuck, and a frustrated post-point wallop that knocked the racket out of Mahut's hands.

When he finally clinched the 6-7(3), 7-6(7), 6-2 victory after two hours and 46 minutes, Klizan pretended to row himself to the final.
