Richard Gasquet and Feliciano Lopez reach Swiss Open final

GSTAAD, Switzerland (AP) _ France's Richard Gasquet and Feliciano Lopez of Spain won their semifinal matches on Saturday to reach the final of the Swiss Open.

Gasquet, seeded No. 7, was given a shock in the second set by Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber, before running away with the final set to win 6-1, 1-6, 6-2.

Sixth-seeded Lopez also had to fight hard to knock off Marin Cilic of Croatia 7-6 (2), 6-7 (5), 6-3.

Gasquet, who turned 20 last month, started well against Kohlschreiber, who had knocked out third-seeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain in the quarter-finals. But the Frenchman fought back to take the match to three sets.

Cilic _ ranked No. 316 in the world _ took Lopez to tiebreaks in the first two sets, but the 17-year-old Croat couldn't hold on to his serve through the final set.
