Italy's Fabio Fognini and Chile's Nicolas Jarry advanced to the final of the Brasil Open with wins over Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos, respectively.


The second-seeded Fognini breezed past the third-seeded Cuevas 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 10 minutes in the first tennis semi-final at this clay-court event here on Saturday, reports Efe.


Jarry, who has been a breakout player in the 2018 South American clay-court season, then advanced to his first ATP Tour final with a come-from-behind 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-4 victory over Zeballos.

The Chilean will play for the title a week after reaching his first-ever ATP Tour semi-final at the Rio Open.

Sunday's final will be the first meeting between these two players.
