HALLE, Germany, June 13 (UPI) -- Serbia's Novak Djokovic beat Belgium's Olivier Rochus in straight sets Saturday in one semifinal at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany.
The scores were 7-6 (9-7), 6-4.
During a tense first set, Rochus rallied back from a 0-3 deficit to force a tie-break, where Djokovic won the last three points.
In the second, the second-seeded Djokovic needed just one service break to wrap up his victory.
On Sunday, he will face Germany's Tommy Haas, a 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (7-3) victor against countryman Philipp Kohlschreiber, last year's runner-up.
"To make it to the finals with such a match is really special for me and the fact that it is in Germany makes it extra special," Haas said about his win. "It was very important for me that I managed to turn things round."
Sunday's Djokovic-Haas winner will collect $160,000.
