Melzer advances to ATP Memphis final Austria's Jurgen Melzer advanced to the final of the $1.37 million ATP and WTA Memphis Open on Saturday with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 victory over Czech third seed Radek Stepanek. Melzer, who upset US top seed John Isner in the quarter-finals, will play for the $277,915 top prize against the winner of a later semi-final between Canadian fourth seed Milos Raonic and 284th-ranked Benjamin Becker of Germany. Melzer, 30, seeks his fourth career ATP crown after titles at Vienna in 2009 and 2010 and Bucharest clay in 2006. Melzer won his only meeting with Becker in the second round at Wimbledon in 2009 and has never faced Raonic. Stepanek, who at 28th was ranked 10 spots ahead of Melzer, failed in his bid for a sixth career ATP title and first since last year at Washington. Raonic, ranked 35th, is on an eight-match win streak and seeking his third ATP title of the year after winning last week at San Jose and last month at Chennai. Raonic was last year's runner-up on the Memphis indoor hardcourts. Becker has reached his first ATP semi-final since 2010 at St. Petersburg, Russia. In the later women's final, New Zealand fourth seed Marina Erakovic was set to face Sweden's Sofia Arvidsson.
