Canadian Milos Raonic needed only 75 minutes to beat Benjamin Becker of Germany 6-4 6-4 on Saturday in the semi-finals of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and reach his second final in as many weeks.

Raonic won at San Jose last week and now boasts a 15-1 win-loss record in 2012.

Ranked 35th in the world, the ATP World Tour’s first multiple winner this season will try to claim his third title on Sunday against Austrian Jurgen Melzer, a 6-4 3-6 6-3 winner over No. 3 seed Radek Stepanek.

“It’s a big thing, especially after the way I’ve been playing,” said Raonic, who lost a three-set final in Memphis last year to Andy Roddick.

“I think I’m a much better player, and I’ve matured a lot so I’ve given myself the opportunity a lot better. I felt last year I was more so squeezing through the matches and just riding the confidence from San Jose.

“This year I feel like I’ve been coming out of the matches the better player. And also I have improved. I’m a better player than I was a year ago.”

The big-serving Raonic has won nine straight matches in straight sets with 66 aces in Memphis.

With his win over Stepanek, Melzer reached his fourth final in the United States and first since 2007 when he lost in Las Vegas to Lleyton Hewitt.

“Well, it’s obviously very satisfying,” Melzer said.

“I’ve played a great tournament so far, and reaching that final is something special. I haven’t played a final since 2010. It was a tough match today.”
