KITZBUEHEL, Austria — Philipp Kohlschreiber ended top-seeded Dominic Thiem's 10-match winning streak on Friday, setting up a final against Paul-Henri Mathieu of France at the Generali Open.
The sixth-seeded German defeated Thiem 6-0, 7-6 (6) in the semifinal of the season's last clay-court event. The 21st-ranked Austrian was coming off back-to-back tournament wins in Umag and Gstaad.
Earlier, qualifier Mathieu defeated Nicolas Almagro of Spain 6-4, 6-3 to reach his first ATP final in six years.
Kohlschreiber, who is 3-1 against Mathieu, also reached the final here in 2012 when he lost to Robin Haase of the Netherlands.
