Tennis: Ferrer to meet Rochus in final

David Ferrer will meet Olivier Rochus in tomorrow's Heineken Open tennis final after dispatching fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco 6-4 6-4 in today's second semifinal.

The final will pit two of the smallest players on tour against each other but Ferrer, the world No 5 and defending champion, will bring a big reputation.

Rochus, however, has been playing the best tennis of his career this week and dealt with the windy conditions better than eighth seed Philipp Kohlschreiber in his semifinal, winning 6-7 (4) 6-1 6-4 in two-and-a-half hours.
