Cameron Norrie and Casper Ruud will meet in the San Diego Open final after top seed Andrey Rublev and Grigor Dimitrov were beaten.
There was an upset at the ATP 250 tournament, where Russian star Rublev fell to Norrie 3-6 6-3 6-4 in San Diego on Saturday.
Norrie clinched his third career top-10 win as the Brit looks to secure his second ATP Tour-level title on Sunday.
“It’s nice to get some revenge. He beat me easily last time, so it’s good to see I’ve improved a little bit,” said Norrie, who lost to Rublev in St Petersburg last year.
Standing in Norrie’s way is second seed Ruud, who saw off former world number three Dimitrov 6-4 4-6 6-4.
Norway’s Ruud – ranked 10th in the world – has the chance to win his fifth title of the season, the most of any player on the ATP circuit.
Norrie holds a 41-19 win-loss record in 2021 and the 26-year-old added ahead of Sunday’s decider: “I’m just trying to enjoy today and then I’ll try to rest up and get ready for [the final].
“I’ve been watching both of them this week and they’ve been playing some of their top level. I’m looking forward to that one tomorrow.”
