Defending champion Andy Roddick beat Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 on Saturday to advance to the final of the Brisbane International against top-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden.
Soderling beat 2009 champion Radek Stepanek 6-3, 7-5 in the other semifinal.
In the women's final, Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic beat Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-1, 6-3.
Roddick extended his Brisbane International record to 9-0, looking in complete control when he took a 4-0 lead after 18 minutes, taking the first set in 31 minutes.
He only looked troubled for the first time when play was postponed early in the second set after a spectator appeared to faint, and Roddick drew cheers from the crowd as he offered a water bottle to the fan.
