TENNIS: Federer to meet Cuevas in Istanbul Open final

Federer to meet Cuevas in Istanbul Open final

Top-seeded, Roger Federer, rallied past Diego Schwarzman 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 to reach the Istanbul Open final after a near two-hour match on Saturday. Federer recovered from a sloppy start against the eighth-seeded Argentine to remain on course for an 85th title and third this year. 


The 17-time Grand Slam winner will face third-seeded Pablo Cuevas in the final after the Uruguayan upset second-seeded Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 6-4 at the clay-court tournament.

Cuevas, who is bidding for a fourth career title, converted five of his six break points against Dimitrov. He is unbeaten in finals, and will meet Federer for the first time.
