South Africa's Kevin Anderson booked his place in the final of the ATP Tour's Winston-Salem Open on Friday, defeating unseeded Tunisian Malek Jaziri in straight sets.
The big-serving 29-year-old from Johannesburg, seeded second for the tournament after receiving a wildcard, swept aside Jaziri 6-4 6-3 to reach only the ninth final of his career.
Anderson, the world No.15, has not won a singles title on the ATP Tour since victory at Delray Beach in 2012.
Earlier, French qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert accounted for American 13th seed Steve Johnson to book his place in the final.
Herbert advanced to Saturday's final after fighting back from losing the first set, prevailing 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-2.
The win saw the world No.21 advance to the first ATP final of his career.
