Jack Draper booked his spot in the Madrid Open final with a hard-fought 6-3 7-6 (7-4) victory against Lorenzo Musetti.
The British number one will contest his third ATP final of the year against Norway's Casper Ruud on Sunday.
Draper, 23, was broken in the opening set but claimed a double break of his own to come through comfortably.
It is the first time the 2024 US Open semi-finalist has reached the final of a clay-court event.
He is the first Englishman to reach the final of the Madrid Open and the second Briton after Scotland's Andy Murray, who appeared in three finals and won two titles.
