In an aggressive performance, the fourth seed opened his shoulders to hit through Brooksby, firing 24 winners during the one-hour, 35-minute clash to reach his fifth tour-level final and first since Stockholm last November.

“I am very happy with my performance today.Jenson is a super tricky opponent and I am just happy to win today and be in the finals,” Shapovalov said.

Shapovalov rallied from a break down in the first set against the 21-year-old Brooksby and has yet to drop a set at the ATP 250 hard-court event.The fourth seed will look to continue that record and capture his second tour-level title when he plays Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka in the championship match.

The 23-year-old, who is up two spots to No.22 in the ATP Live Rankings, lifted his only previous tour-level trophy in Stockholm in 2019.Earlier this season, Shapovalov advanced to the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and enjoyed a run to the last four in Dubai.

On the other hand, Brooksby was aiming to reach his third tour-level final of the season, having advanced to championship matches in Dallas and Atlanta.
