Kyrgios has become known, already, as one of the game's great entertainers.

"I needed to play a good clay-court match, to make him run," said Gasquet. "He's a very good player, very powerful with a big forehand and big serve."

"Playing in my first final, there was definitely a bit of pressure out there," said Kyrgios. "I thought I had fun out there today as well. I lost, but that's why he's a world-class player. He was way too good for me and I need to get better."

Au revoir, Estoril.

With a 6-2, 6-4 win over Gilles Muller, Pablo Carreno Busta advanced to the semis without dropping a set.

He would meet fellow youngster Nick Kyrgios, who also won his quarterfinal in straights.

Haase had won two three-set matches, including an upset of top seed Feliciano Lopez, but ran out of steam against Kyrgios.

Clay-court expert Guillermo Garcia-Lopez shows how to slide on the red surface.

Though Garcia-Lopez was out of position on this shot, he had his opponent on the run most of the day.

That opponent was Borna Coric, another talented young player entered in this year's Estoril Open. Experience prevailed over the 18-year-old on Friday, 6-3, 7-6 (4).

Nicolas Almagro is a wizard with the backhand...

...but in the quarterfinals, he ran into a more effective shotmaker in Richard Gasquet.

In Saturday's semis, 23-year-old Busta and 20-year-old Kyrgios played a quality three-setter...

...which was ultimately won by the Australian, 5-7, 7-6 (2), 6-3.

Garcia-Lopez was aiming for his third title of the season in Portugal.

But Gasquet would end the Spaniard's attempt with a narrow escape, 3-6, 2-6, 7-6 (1).

Kyrgios has already posted some huge wins in his short career, including one over Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon.

But on this day, on clay, it was all Gasquet.

The Frenchman won his second tournament of 2015 with a 6-3, 6-2 showing.
