Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech produced a dominant performance on serve and return against countryman Corentin Moutet to power into the final of the Adelaide International 2 on Friday.
The World No. 58 dropped just three points on his first serve and won more than half of his return points to claim a convincing 6-1, 6-3 win in one hour and 16 minutes.
Already sitting at a career-high ATP Ranking, the 6' 5" 26-year-old will face the winner of fourth seed Marin Cilic and in-form Australian wild card Thanasai Kokkinakis in Saturday's final, his first at ATP Tour level.
