Thanasi Kokkinakis’s fine run of form has continued in Mexico with the Australian progressing to his first ATP tournament final with a win over Tomas Berdych in Los Cabos.

Kokkinakis, playing with a protected ranking but nominally rated No.454 in the world after a string of injuries, downed the Czech top seed in their semi-final, 3-6 7-6 (7-5) 6-4.

He’ll take on the winner of the match between American Sam Querrey and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Damir Dzumhur.
