CHENNAI, India, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Croatia's Marin Cilic, seeded No. 3, and wild card Somdev Dewarman of India will play for the championship Sunday in India's Chennai Open.

Cilic reached the finals with a 6-4, 6-3 win Saturday over Marcel Granollers of Spain.

The 23-year-old Dewarman got to his first ATP Tour final when his opponent, No. 5 Rainer Schuettler, withdrew from their semifinal match because of a wrist injury.

Dewarman is the first Indian player to make it to the championship match in the Chennai Tournament, which is considered a tuneup for the upcoming Australian Open.
