However, the Spaniard will not have much time to rest as he prepares to face countryman Pablo Carreno Busta in the final in a few hours time.

Carreno Busta defeated Argetina's Diego Schwartzman 6-3, 6-4 in the other semifinal.

Both semifinals were suspended on Saturday due to rain and therefore had to be completed on the same day when the final was scheduled.
