Tsitsipas beat Benjamin Bonzi 6-4, 6-4 in the Mallorca Open on Friday.
SANTA PONSA (AFP) - Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Roberto Bautista Agut in the Mallorca Open final after seeing off last four opponent Benjamin Bonzi 6-4, 6-4 on Friday.
The Greek second seed took a little over an hour and a half to dismiss France s Bonzi at the tournament he is using as a stepping stone to Wimbledon.
Waiting for Tsitsipas, who needed three sets to get past American Marcos Giron in the quarter-finals, is Bautista Agut after the Spaniard defeated Antoine Bellier 7-6 (7/5), 6-2.
Local hope Bautista Agut had booked his place in the last four by beating world number one Daniil Medvedev.
Still seeking a first title on grass, Tsitsipas has lost in the first round on three of his four appearances at Wimbledon.
He was pitted against Swiss qualifier Alexander Ritschard in Friday s draw for the third Grand Slam of the season which starts on Monday.
Bautista Agut, seeded 17th and a semi-finalist in 2019, has a first round date with Hungary s Attila Balazs.
