CAGLIARI, Sardinia (AP) - Lorenzo Sonego is one step away from becoming the first Italian for 15 years to capture an ATP tour clay-court title on home soil after beating second-seeded Taylor Fritz of the United States on Saturday to reach the final of the Sardegna Open.
Third-seeded Sonego held off a spirited comeback from Fritz to prevail 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 and set up a final against Laslo Djere of Serbia.
Sonego was a set and 3-0 up -- after winning five straight games -- before Fritz started his comeback, but the 25-year-old Italian recovered to romp to victory in the third and reach his first clay-court final.
It was easier for Djere in the other semifinal as he dominated fourth-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia to win 6-2, 6-0 in a match that lasted just 52 minutes.
The No. 57 lost just nine of his service points.
Djere won the first edition of the tournament at Forte Village in October.
