Kevin Anderson reaches third final of 2013

Kevin Anderson has reached his third final of 2013 by beating Ryan Harrison at the Atlanta Open.

The South African number one overcame the unseeded American 6-3 7-6 inside 91 minutes in their last-four encounter in Georgia.

Anderson saved two set points, serving at 5-6 in the second set, which he eventually won 7-3 in a tie-break.

The 27-year-old was a runner-up in Sydney and Casablanca earlier this year. He will have the opportunity to go one better when he faces John Isner in Sunday's finale.
