The German second seed Philip Kohlschreiber has booked a spot in the final of the Heineken men's tennis open by beating Sam Querrey of the USA 6-4 7-6.
The fourth seed pushed Kohlschreiber in the second set, forcing a tie-break, but in the end the German was able to play with 6 match points and sealed entry into his second final in Auckland.
The 2008 champion will play either the reigning champion David Ferrer, or French wildcard Gael Monfils in the final.
