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.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.

What a finish this is.. I believe King has used his boost for today. Skelp is closing strong. Two wins and he claims 1st if I lose my last prediction.
