Juan Martin del Potro reached the finals of the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships with a 6-1, 7-5 win over second-seeded Mardy Fish on Saturday.
Del Potro, who only played three tournaments in 2010 because of a right-wrist injury, is playing in his first final since winning the 2009 U.S. Open. The Argentine reached the semifinals at San Jose and Memphis en route to playing at Delray Beach.
"It's amazing for me, this comeback, and I'm trying to get better day by day," Del Potro said. "I'm trying to play similar to 2009 but it is very tough. Tomorrow I'll be in my first final in more than a year and that's great for me."
Sixth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia, in the hunt for his first career title, will face Del Potro on Sunday. The 52nd-ranked Tipsarevic defeated Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals to reach his third career final.
