Carlo Alcaraz advanced to his first Italian Open final with a 6-3, 7-6 4 victory over Lorenzo Musetti on Friday.
It's the third final in three clay-court events this season for Alcaraz, who won the Monte Carlo Masters and finished runner-up in the Barcelona Open before withdrawing from the Madrid Open because of injury.
A four-time Grand Slam champion, Alcaraz is preparing to defend his title at the French Open, which starts May 25.
In Sunday's final, Alcaraz will face either top-ranked Jannik Sinner or No. 12 Tommy Paul, who were playing in the night session at the Foro Italico.
The women's final on Saturday features Coco Gauff against Jasmine Paolini.
