Chennai: Second seed and World No. 14 Roberto Bautista Agut outclassed Benoit Paire in a lop-sided semi-final to set up the singles title clash of the ATP Chennai Open with young Daniil Medvedev, who rallied to reach his maiden ATP final, here on Saturday.
Agut served extremely well to register an easy 6-3, 6-3 win over Paire, who paid the price for his unending unforced errors in the second semi-final.
Agut kept tightening the grip over the match with each game while Paire slid fast.
Agut will now take on Russia's 20-year-old Medvedev for his fifth career title. Medvedev came from behind to beat seasoned Dudi Sela 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-2 in the first match of the day in two hours and six minutes.
