ESTORIL, Portugal (AP) — Top-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated David Goffin 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Estoril Open final on Saturday.

Tsitsipas will play for the title against Pablo Cuevas, who beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Tsitsipas broke Goffin’s serve five times to reach the victory in 2 hours, 18 minutes.

“I fought very hard and gave my soul out on the court, which is the biggest pleasure in this sport,” Tsitsipas said.

It will be the first final for Cuevas since 2017 in Sao Paulo.
