NS. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) – American Taylor Fritz will compete against Marin Cilic in the final of the St. Petersburg Open.
Fritz defeated the German Jan-Lennard Struff in the semi-final game on Saturday with 5-7, 6-1, 6-3 and reached his first tour-level final of the season.
Cilic reached his second final in as many weeks with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Dutch qualifier Botic Van de Zandschulp.
Van de Zandschulp, who reached the quarter-finals of the US Open last month, stunned defending champion Andrey Rublev in the quarter-finals on Friday.
Cilic reached the final in Moscow last week and wants to take his second title of the season after his win in Stuttgart. He previously won the St. Petersburg title in 2011.
