Guillermo García-López is one step closer to a third ATP title…

The 30-year-old Spanish tennis player defeated Joao Sousa of Portugal 6-1, 6-1 to reach the finals at the St. Petersburg Open.

Garcia-Lopez, currently ranked No. 74 in the world, won six consecutive games in the first set and broke his opponent twice in the second before sealing the win on his second match point.

Garcia-Lopez, who was runner-up in Bucharest and Rome in April, is looking for his third career title.

He last won in 2010 in Bangkok.

Garcia-Lopez faces sixth-seeded Ernests Gulbis in the final.
