Filip Dewulf

Filip Dewulf (born on March 15, 1972 in Mol) is a former professional male tennis player from Belgium.

In his career he won 2 ATP Tour singles titles and 1 title in doubles. In 1997 he reached the semi-finals of the French Open, his best singles result ever and the first Belgian tennis player (male or female) to reach the semi-final at a Grand Slam tournament (Kim Clijsters would do better in 2001 by reaching the final at the same event). He was defeated in four sets by the eventual champion, Gustavo Kuerten. This was, according to Roland Garros itself, the best performance that a qualifier has performed at a French Open. Dewulf would also reach the quarterfinals at the same event the following year, falling to eventual runner-up Alex Corretja in straight sets.
