ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) — Unseeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia advanced to his first ATP final after rallying to beat third-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4 at the Zagreb Indoors on Saturday.

Dodig’s victory gives Croatia a finalist at home after its two highest-ranked players, Marin Cilic and Ivan Ljubicic, lost in the semifinals.

Dodig, who beat Ljubicic, broke Garcia-Lopez in the fourth game of the third set, then served out the match without losing a point.

In the finals, Dodig will face the winner of the other semifinal later Saturday between Germany’s Michael Berrer and Florian Mayer.
