MARSEILLE, France (AP) Marin Cilic of Croatia saved a match point before beating Mikhail Youzhny of Croatia 6-2, 1-6, 7-5 Saturday to reach the final of the Open 13.
Cilic will face either top-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden or unseeded Russian Dmitry Tursunov.
The unseeded Croatian double-faulted at 5-3 to face a match point, but saved it by slamming an ace.
Cilic rallied at 5-5 when Youzhny sent a backhand into the net and then clinched victory when a forehand from the Russian sailed long.
