He'll face world No. 61 Istomin of Uzbekistan, who continued his improbable run with a 6-3, 6(4)-7, 6-3 victory over fifth-seeded Frenchman Julien Benneteau in Saturday's other semifinal.
Istomin had advanced with a stunning upset over No. 2 seed Andy Roddick in Friday's quarterfinal round. He'll be seeking his first career title Sunday against Raonic, the defending champion in San Jose.
