Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will look to avenge last week\'s Shanghai Masters quarter-final loss against Tomas Berdych in the Stockholm Open final, after beating Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 4-6, 5-2.
The top seed advanced to the final after beating 2009 champion Baghdatis, but only after the Cypriot retired due to a left groin strain.
\"It was a very good match, so I\'m sad it ended like this,\" Tsonga told Swedish public broadcaster SVT.
\"I\'m very pleased, I played very good tennis again, very aggressive with some good shots.\"
Czech world number six Berdych defeated Spain\'s Nicolas Almagro in just 69 minutes without facing a single break point, 6-3, 6-2.
Tsonga, ranked world number seven, and Berdych will both be gunning for a spot in the ATP World Tour Finals in November at the O2 Arena in London.
