(CNN) -- David Ferrer will aim to become the first Spaniard to win the Miami Masters after beating Germany's Tommy Haas in an absorbing semifinal on Friday. 

The trophy has proved beyond the reach of three of his compatriots in the past, with Rafael Nadal having failed on three occasions (2005, 2008, 2011) to add to previous failures by Carlos Moya (2003) and Sergi Bruguera (1997). 

The third seed, who celebrates his 31st birthday on Tuesday, will play either Andy Murray or Richard Gasquet in Sunday's final after recovering from a break down in the third set to win 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. 

The world No. 5 finally ended a fine championships for Haas who, at 34, was bidding to become the oldest man to reach the final since Jimmy Connors in 1988. 

The German, who slayed world No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djovokic in the quarterfinals, took his fine form into the clash as he powered his way to the first set in Key Biscayne. 

Losing the opener only served to focus Ferrer's concentration however and he broke Haas in the sixth game of the second before repeating the feat to take the set 6-2. 

When Haas broke in the first and third games of the third set, the German seemed to have regained the initiative only for Ferrer to find his way back into the match through his trademark resilience. 

2013 has started in superb fashion for the Spaniard, who can win his third title of the year on Sunday -- with the Australian Open semifinalist having already triumphed in Auckland and Buenos Aires.

(CNN) -- David Ferrer kommer att sikta på att bli den första spanjoren att vinna Miami Masters efter att ha slagit Tysklands Tommy Haas i en absorberande semifinal på fredag. Trofén har visat sig vara utom räckhåll för tre av hans landsmän tidigare, varvid Rafael Nadal vid tre tillfällen (2005, 2008, 2011) misslyckats med att lägga till tidigare misslyckanden av Carlos Moya (2003) och Sergi Bruguera (1997). Det tredje fröet, som firar sin 31:a födelsedag på tisdagen, kommer att spela antingen Andy Murray eller Richard Gasquet i söndags final efter att ha återhämtat sig från ett avbrott i det tredje setet att vinna 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. Världen Nej. 5 avslutade till slut ett fint mästerskap för Haas som på 34:an var budgivande att bli den äldste mannen att nå finalen sedan Jimmy Connors 1988. Tysken, som dräpte världen nr. 1 och försvarande mästaren Novak Djovokic i kvartsfinalen, tog sin fina form in i sammandrabbningen då han drev sig fram till första setet i Key Biscayne. Att förlora öppnaren tjänade dock bara till att fokusera Ferrers koncentration och han bröt Haas i den sjätte matchen av den andra innan han upprepade bedriften att ta setet 6-2. När Haas bröt i den tredje uppsättningens första och tredje matcher verkade tysken ha återtagit initiativet endast för att Ferrer skulle hitta tillbaka in i matchen genom sin varumärkestålighet. 2013 har startat på ett utmärkt sätt för spanjoren, som kan vinna sin tredje titel på söndagen -- med Australiska öppna semifinalisten som redan har segrat i Auckland och Buenos Aires. 1. Vem siktade på att bli den första spanjoren att vinna? 2. Vad försökte han vinna? 3. Har han redan slagit någon? 4. Vem förlorade mot honom? 5. Vad bjöd han på? Ge en numrerad lista med svar.
