(Reuters) -Stefanos Tsitsipas secured a hard-fought 5-7 6-4 6-2 win over Serbia's Dusan Lajovic in the Barcelona Open on Saturday and will face Norwegian third seed Casper Ruud in another final.

Fifth seed Tsitsipas is chasing his second title of the season after he dismantled Ruud 6-1 6-4 to win the Monte Carlo Masters last week for the third time in four years.
