Tallon Griekspoor rode a wave of home support to the championship match on Saturday at the Libema Open, the Dutchman surging ahead with an impressive 6-4, 7-5 semifinal win against Emil Ruusuvuori.

The sixth seed claimed a solitary break in each set to hold off the hard-hitting World No. 42 Ruusuvuori and reached his second ATP Tour final. Griekspoor broke the Finn's serve in the opening game of the match and saved all four break points he faced from then on to wrap up an 89-minute triumph and advance to play Jordan Thompson for the trophy at the grass-court ATP 250.
