Johns Creek, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Defending champion and No. 1 seed John Isner will take on Israel's Dudi Sela in the final of the Atlanta Open after both posted semifinal victories Saturday.
The 6-foot-10 Isner needed just 97 minutes to dispatch fellow American Jack Sock 7-5, 6-4 at the U.S. Open Series hardcourt tournament.
Saturday's later semifinal saw Duda fend off a challenge from German Benjamin Becker and ultimately claim a 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory in 1 hour, 50 minutes.
It will be Duda's first ATP World Tour finals appearance since losing to Andy Roddick at Beijing in 2008.
Sock and Becker will both walk away with more than $29,000 for their efforts.
Isner and Sela have met two previous times, with the Isner winning both matches. The last time they clashed was in the second round on the hardcourts at Delray Beach earlier this year. Isner won 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).
Sunday's winner will claim $103,000.
