Sonego defeated Belgium's David Goffin 6-3, 6-2
in the first match of the day. The Italian won 37 of 51 total
service points (72.5 percent), putting up 18 winners with 11
unforced errors while Goffin hit just 10 winners and committed
12 unforced errors.
It marks Sonego's first trip to a tournament final in almost two
years. His last final, and title, came in September 2022 at the
Moselle Open in France.
Michelsen led Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 7-6 (5), 2-1 when
Carreno Busta retired.
Michelsen, who turns 20 on Sunday, reached his second final of
the summer as he searches for his first career title. The
California native lost to countryman Marcos Giron last month in
the Hall of Fame Open final in Newport, R.I.
