ATP roundup: Martinez stuns Ruud to advance to Estoril Open final

Pedro Martinez of Spain defeated Norway's No. 1 seed Casper Ruud on Saturday to advance to the final of the Millennium Estoril Open in Portugal.

Martinez defeated defending champion Ruud 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in three hours and seven minutes. Ruud rallied from 5-1 down in the deciding set, even overcoming three match points in an epic 16-minute game at 5-2, but Martinez, ranked 77th and having never beaten a top player, eventually won the match.

Martinez will face No. 2 seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland, who advanced to his 10th ATP final by defeating Cristian Garin of Chile 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

Hurkacz defeated Garin in just under two hours, breaking his serve twice in the final set.
