HOUSTON – Lleyton Hewitt of Australia reached his first clay court final in a decade with a 7-6 (4), 6-4 victory over Evgeny Korolev of Russia at the US Men’s Clay Court Championships on Saturday.
The former No. 1 player, who has won 26 titles, will meet first-time finalist Wayne Odesnik of the United States on Sunday. Odesnik beat Germany’s Bjorn Phau, 6-4, 6-3, in their semifinal.
Hewitt won his 498th career match, moving him closer to joining Roger Federer and Carlos Moya as the only active players with 500 wins. A victory on Sunday would give Hewitt his first title on clay since Delray Beach in 1999. (AP)
