Winston-Salem (United States) (AFP) - South Africa's Kevin Anderson booked his place in the final of the Winston-Salem Open, defeating unseeded Tunisian Malek Jaziri in straight sets.
The big-serving 29-year-old from Johannesburg, seeded second for the tournament after receiving a wild card, swept aside Jaziri 6-4, 6-3 to reach only the ninth final of his career.
Anderson, the world number 15, has not won a singles title on the ATP Tour since victory at Delray Beach in 2012.
Earlier Friday, French qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert accounted for American 13th seed Steve Johnson to book his place in the final.
Herbert advanced to Saturday's final after fighting back from losing the first set, prevailing 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-2.
The win saw the world number 21 advance to the first ATP final of his career.
