Tomas Berdych will face Grigor Dimitrov in the final of the If Stockholm Open after both clinched straight-sets wins in the semi-finals.
Berdych ended the run of German qualifier Matthias Bachinger with a 7-6 (9-7) 6-4 win in an hour and 25 minutes, notching his 50th victory of the year in the process.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon semi-finalist Dimtrov fought back in a tight second set to see off Australia's Bernard Tomic 6-3 7-5.
Tomic served for the second set at 5-3 but a double-fault proved costly and allowed Dimitrov back in to take the match.
Both players are hoping for a tournament win in Sweden to boost their chances of qualifying for the ATP Tour Finals next month.
Berdych currently sits in seventh place in the Race to London rankings while Dimitrov is 11th. Three of the eight spots are still up for grabs.
