Finland youngster Emil Ruusuvuori earned a shot at his maiden ATP World Tour title with a hard-fought win over Kamil Majchrzak while Joao Sousa edged out Elias Ymer after saving three match points in high-quality semifinals at the Tata Open Maharashtra here on Saturday.

Majchrzak got himself to a position where he could have served for the second set to force a decider, but it was the 22-year-old Ruusuvuori who emerged a 6-3, 7-6(0) winner after one hour and 46 minutes of engrossing tennis at the Balewadi Sports Complex.
