Robredo, Anderson in Grand Prix final

Casablanca, April 14 (IANS) Spanish tennis player Tommy Robredo and Kevin Anderson of South Africa will clash in the Grand Prix Hassan II final.

Robredo beat top-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 Saturday to reach his first final since winning on outdoor clay in Santiago, Chile, two years ago.

Anderson followed up with a 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 win against third-seeded Martin Klizan of Slovakia and will aim for his third career title Sunday, reports Xinhua.
