Serbia's Miomir Kecmanovic reached the final of the ATP's Delray Beach Open with a 7-6 (7/3), 6-3 win over American Alex Michelsen on Saturday.
Kecmanovic will face either fourth-seeded Italian Matteo Arnaldi or eighth-seeded Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in Sunday's final.
The 25-year-old Serbian will be playing in his fifth tour level final – his sole title came at Kitzbuhel in 2020 and he was a finalist at Delray Beach in 2023.

In bright sunshine, Kecmanovic bounced back from wasting two set points when serving at 6-5 in the first set to eventually win the tie-break.
In the second set he saved both break points he faced to advance after 90 minutes.
Davidovich faces Arnaldi later on Saturday after upsetting home favourite Taylor Fritz, ending the American's bid for a third straight title at the South Florida event.
