Melzer advances to Memphis final

Sat 25th, February 2012

Memphis, TN (Sports Network) - Austrian's Jurgen Melzer advanced to the final of the $1.155 million Regions Morgan Keegan Championships on Saturday by knocking off third-seeded Czech Radek Stepanek.

The 30-year-old southpaw fired eight aces, including five in the decisive third set, as he bested Stepanek 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 in just over two hours on the indoor hardcourts at The Racquet Club of Memphis.

It was the second win over a seeded opponent in as many days for Melzer, who also defeated top-seeded American John Isner in Friday's quarterfinals. He entered the tournament unseeded.

Stepanek, a 33-year-old righty, was the runner-up at Memphis in 2009. He had defeated 2010 champion Sam Querrey of the United States in another Friday quarterfinal.

Melzer will vie for the title against either fourth-seeded Canadian Milos Ranoic or German Benjamin Becker in Sunday's final. Those two face off in the other semifinal later Saturday.

The 2012 Memphis champ will pocket $277,915.
