Top seed Juan Martin Del Potro will meet Richard Gasquet in the Estoril Open final after the pair won their semi-finals on Saturday.

The Argentine remained on course for the defence of his title as he beat third seed Stanislas Wawrinka 7-6(2) 6-4 in Portugal.

A single break of serve was enough to see Del Potro secure his progress as he targets an 11th ATP Tour title.

Standing in his way is Gasquet, who had to come from a set down to beat Spaniard Albert Ramos. The Frenchman looked a beaten man at the start of the second set, but triumphed 2-6 7-6(1) 7-5 in a little over three hours. It will be Gasquet's first final since July 2010.

Marin Cilic remains on course for his first clay-court title after reaching the final of the BMW Open in Munich. The Croatian fired six aces and dropped just five points on serve as he saw off German wildcard Tommy Haas 6-3 6-4.

The third seed, runner-up in 2010, will have the crowd against him again in Sunday's final when he takes on home favourite Philipp Kohlschreiber who will be looking to regain the title he won back in 2007. Kohlschreiber thrilled the Munich crowd as battled past second seed Feliciano Lopez 6-2 6-7(4) 6-4.
