No. 2 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece and No. 5 Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain advanced to Saturday's final with straight-set victories.
Tsitsipas saved all three break points and won 75.7 percent of the points on his first serve (28 of 37) during a 6-4, 6-4 semifinal win against unseeded Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi.
Bautista Agut broke the serve of Switzerland's Antoine Bellier three times in the second set to finish off a 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory. Bellier, No. 303 in the world, was the lowest-ranked semifinalist on the tour this season.
