World No.66 through to his first ATP final

Argentinian Carlos Berlocq upset the seedings in Vina del Mar, Chile as he denied his second-seeded compatriot Juan Ignacio Chela a place in the final of the VTR Open. The world number 66 and seventh seed beat Chela 6-3 4-6 6-0 in the semi-finals to earn a place in the final on Sunday against top seed Juan Monaco, another Argentinian, in Sunday's final. Berlocq will be contesting his first ATP final as a singles player, having previously won a doubles title and reached two other doubles finals. Chela, ranked 25th, looked to be getting on top against Berlocq when he levelled the match, but then did not win another game. Monaco was clinical against Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in the second semi-final at the clay-court event. Chardy, unseeded and ranked 82nd, was beaten 6-1 6-4 by the world number 14.
