British number one Dan Evans missed out on a place in the Vienna Open final after losing to Italy's Lorenzo Sonego.
Sonego, who beat world number one Novak Djokovic in the last eight, continued his good form with a 6-3 6-4 win.
Evans was broken in his opening service game and that was enough to see the first set slip away from him.
The 30-year-old Briton needed treatment on a shoulder injury at the start of the second set and could not find enough to trouble Sonego.
The 25-year-old Italian, who was beaten in the final round of qualifying but came into the tournament as a lucky loser, showed some superb skill on the forehand side, and tricky drop shots also helped him at key times.
