Coric, Kohlschreiber in Morocco final

It's a case of the young versus the experienced in the final of the ATP Tour event in Morocco.

Croatia's Borna Coric will have a shot at the Grand Prix Hassan II title for the second straight year when he takes on third-seeded German, Philipp Kohlschreiber in Sunday's final.

The 20-year-old Coric, who lost to Federico Delbonis in last year's final at the clay-court tournament, defeated Czech player Jiri Vesely 6-4 6-4 in the semi-final.

Coric will be chasing his first tour title against the experienced Kohlschreiber, who reached his 16th final with a 6-2 6-2 win over Frenchman Benoit Paire in the other semi-final.

Kohlschreiber dropped only one point on his first serve and broke the sixth-seeded Paire four times in the rout.
