Calleri goes after his second career ATP Tour title Sunday after rallying for a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, victory over fifth-seeded Fernando Verdasco, who lost in last year's tournament final to Gaston Gaudio.

The seventh-seeded Chela also went the distance against eighth-seeded Russian Mikhail Youzhny before winning, 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Calleri has won the last three meetings with Chela, but the two have not met this year.
