HALLE, Germany — Roger Federer will play David Goffin in the final as he bids for a record-extending 10th Halle Open title on Sunday.
Federer defeated the 43rd-ranked Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France 6-3, 6-3 and Goffin brought an end to Matteo Berrettini's eight-match winning streak with a 7-6 (4), 6-3 win in the semifinals on Saturday.
Federer had one of his easier matches on his way to his 13th final in Halle, converting three of eight break opportunities without facing any himself.
Goffin had lost six consecutive tour-level semifinals before he saved all three break points he faced to beat Berrettini—who won the Stuttgart Open last Sunday—in 1 hour and 37 minutes.
