Third-seeded Italian Lorenzo Sonego rallied to beat second-seeded Taylor Fritz of the United States 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 on Saturday to reach the final of the Sardegna Open in Cagliari, Italy.
Sonego, 25, was up 3-0 in the second set before Fritz rallied to claim the set. Sonego opened the third set with breaks in Fritz’s first three service games and quickly closed out the match.
Sonego, seeking his second title, will face Laslo Djere of Serbia in the final. Djere stunned fourth-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia 6-2, 6-0 to claim the other final spot.
Djere, who has two career titles, has split a pair of matches with Sonego previously.
