Albert Costa, the 20th seed, won his all-Spanish clash against 18th seeded Alex Corretja, last year's French Open runner-up, to advance to the first Grand Slam final of his career today.
The 26-year-old Costa came away 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 winner and will meet either compatriot Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 11th seed, or second seeded Russian Marat Safin in Sunday's final.
