The 27-year-old Brazilian beat Columbia’s Santiago Giraldo 6-3, 6-4 and has advanced to the Geneva Open finals to compete against Joao Sousa of Portugal for the title. He won the Switzerland’s clay court event, Gstaad twice.

Seeded 60th, Belluci exclaimed “this is my favorite place to play. Maybe I feel very relaxed here”.

The sixth-seeded Sousa beat Federico Delbonis of Argentina, 6-3,6-4 in the other semi-final. Even though he won the third set, it lacked the dramatic quotient he displayed when he beat Spain’s Pablo Andujar, saving four match points in a tiebreaker.
