ESTORIL, Portugal — Top-seeded Casper Ruud will play for his 10th ATP title against Serbian friend Miomir Kecmanovic in the final of the Estoril Open.

They had contrasting semifinals on Saturday.

Sixth-seeded Kecmanovic drubbed Marco Cecchinato 6-3, 6-1 in half the time and hasn’t dropped a set this week.

Kecmanovic will play for his second ATP singles title. He’s also in the doubles final.

Kecmanovic has beaten Ruud in both past matches but Sunday’s final will be their first meeting since 2019.
