South Africa's 45th-ranked Kevin Anderson, seeking his first crown in nearly two years, upset American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-4 to reach the ATP and WTA Citi Open final. The lanky 31-year-old from Johannesburg saved all three break points he faced in the second set with aces in advancing to the final against the winner of a later showdown between Germany's eighth-ranked Alexander Zverev and Japan's ninth-ranked Kei Nishikori. "It would mean a lot," Anderson said. "I'm really excited to be there. I think I can take a lot from this week. It's a great start to the summer. It will be a terrific opportunity."
