Monaco reaches Swedish Open final

Juan Monaco routed two-time defending champion Tommy Robredo 6-0, 6-2 Saturday to reach the Swedish Open final.

In Sunday's final, the unseeded Argentine will play the winner of an all-Swedish semifinal between Robin Soderling and Andreas Vinciguerra.

Monaco broke the third-seeded Robredo three times in the opening set and raced to a quick 5-1 lead in the second after securing two more breaks of the Spaniard's serve.

"I was playing unbelievable," Monaco said. "It was a perfect match for me. I served very well and hit my forehand unbelievable. I tried to be very focused. But the score for sure surprised me."

Monaco is the first Argentine to reach the Swedish Open final since Mariano Zabaleta, who won back-to back titles in 2003-04.

Robredo, playing in Bastad for the ninth straight year, has a 23-7 record in the tournament.
