Taylor Fritz reached the ATP Finals title decider on Saturday by defeating Alexander Zverev in three sets, moving one win away from becoming the first American champion at the showpiece event since Pete Sampras 25 years ago.
Fifth-ranked Fritz triumphed 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 7/3 over world number two Zverev in a thrilling match at the season-ending event in Turin.
Fritz will face either world number one Jannik Sinner or Casper Ruud in Sundays showdown where he will bid to become the first American since 14-time Grand Slam champion Sampras in 1999 to claim the title.
James Blake, in 2006, was the last US man to make the final.
Fritz could yet have the chance to gain revenge on Sinner for being beaten in the US Open final following a gruelling match in northern Italy.
