World number five Juan Martin Del Potro advanced to the final of the Sydney International 2014 tournament after the Argentine eliminated Dmitry Tursunov 6-4, 6-2. This is Del Potro’s 25th ATP-level final and he will have a chance to win his 18th career title as he faces defending champion Bernard Tomic of Australia in the final on Saturday.
“I think I played my best match of the week,” said del Potro. “I played great with my forehands and serves. I didn’t make easy errors and I played solid on the baseline. I think I did everything okay, and I’m glad with my level of today. I’m looking forward for the final of tomorrow.”
Tomic will have a chance to defend a title for the first time after surviving qualifier Sergiy Stakhovky’s challenge 6-7, 7-5, 6-3 in a match that lasted two hours and 14 minutes.
“The way played here, I’m very happy,” said Tomic. “Tomorrow is going to be a difficult match. I’ve got to prepare as best as I can. Last time I played he beat me pretty comfortably, 6-3, 6-3. I felt like I had chances in that match. I have to go for my shots and play the way I played in my first round and the quarters to win.”
Tomic secured his first career ATP title a year ago in this event after overcoming Kevin Anderson.
