Casper Ruud needed three sets to beat Jaume Munar (6-2, 2-6, 7-6) in the first semi-final of the ATP 500 in Dallas on Saturday.
The Norwegian got off to a perfect start, taking the first set after half an hour's play, but then began to falter in the face of Munar's attacking play.
The Spaniard, a conqueror on the court with numerous points won at the net, even served for the match at 5-4 in the third set, before losing his service game and cracking the tie-break against Ruud's solidity.
Tomorrow, the world No. 5 will contest his first final on the ATP circuit since the Barcelona tournament almost a year ago.
He will face the winner of the match between Tommy Paul and Denis Shapovalov.
