Tommy Robredo advanced to the Swedish Open final with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over German rising star Alexander Zverev here.

The crafty 33-year-old veteran took advantage of numerous unforced errors by the big-hitting teenager, who was playing in his second ATP Tour-level semifinal on Saturday.

The 21st-ranked Robredo will seek his 13th career singles title on Sunday against unseeded Frenchman Benoit Paire, who topped Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas 6-4, 6-3 in the other semifinal at the clay court event.
