BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 11 (Xinhua) -- Federico Coria and Sebastian Baez set up an all-Argentine ATP Cordoba Open final on Saturday with straight-set victories in their respective semifinals.
Sixth-seeded Coria won 73 percent of his first service points to overcome Spaniard Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-4, 7-6 (2) in two hours and 33 minutes.
"Today I allowed myself to feel the energy of the crowd because I really needed it to gain strength," Coria told reporters. "That gave me the edge I needed to get my ticket to the final."
No. 4 seed Baez sent down five aces and won 64 percent of his first serves en route to a 6-4, 6-4 defeat of Bolivia's Hugo Dellien.
"It makes me very happy to make it to the final against another Argentine," Baez said. "I'm delighted to be back in form and I hope to be able to cap it off by winning the title."
The ATP 250 event is being played on the outdoor clay of the Polo Deportivo Kempes complex in Cordoba. ■
