LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ricardas Berankis advanced to his first ATP Tour final, beating Marinko Matosevic 7-5, 6-1 on Saturday in the Farmers Classic at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
The 22-year-old Lithuanian will face the winner of the all-American night semifinal between two-time champion Sam Querrey and Rajeev Ram.
Before qualifying for the event on UCLA’s campus, Berankis had played only two tour matches in the past year because of pelvic injuries.
