Marcos Baghdatis will face Olivier Rochus in the final of the Stockholm Open after Robin Soderling was forced to pull out of his semi-final with Baghdatis on Saturday due to an elbow injury.
The effects of a long season caught up with the Swedish world number 10, who is just a place away from a possible spot in next month's eight-man ATP World Tour Finals in London.
The turn of events means Baghdatis, of Cyprus, will play in his first final since Halle in the summer of 2007.
Rochus, meanwhile, survived a roller-coaster semi-final to beat Brazil's Thomaz Bellucci 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 6-3 in the other semi-final.
