Cerundolo saved five of six break points and controlled point stats, racking up more winners (25-16), service points (53-45) and return points (29-26). The Argentinian, ranked No. 37 in the world, also won 12-9 on first-serve return points and earned more points on second serves, 19-14.

That sets up a final with Lorenzo Musetti of Italy, who defeated Jakub Mensik of Czechia 6-4, 6-1. Musetti, ranked No. 17 in the world, held a 60% to 44% edge on first serve percentage and won five of nine return games (as opposed to Mensik's one of eight).
