BASTAD, Sweden — Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic reached his second Swedish Open final in three years today, rallying past second-seeded Fernando Verdasco of Spain 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Tommy Robredo also came from behind, outlasting defending champion David Ferrer 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the all-Spanish semifinal.

Robredo, the 2006 Swedish Open champion, broke the fourth-ranked Ferrer to lead 2-1 in the decisive set. A dazzling forehand pass down the line gave Robredo another break to take a 5-2 lead.

But it was closer than the score indicated. The top-seeded Ferrer had two break points in game 2, one break point in game 6, and 2 break points in game 8.

"It was close, but I played the big points well," Robredo said.

The match was suspended three times because of rain showers.

"I took a shower each time," Robredo said. "Every time they stopped the match for the rain I took a shower. I'm glad my room is across the tennis stadium. But when you have to stop three times it's tough."

Robredo and Berdych will play in Sunday's final.

Berdych, ranked 23rd and seeded fourth, raced to a 4-1 lead in the third set before play stopped for 90 minutes because of rain. He fell behind 30-0 with serve when play resumed but eventually held and then lost only one point as he served out the match in the eighth game.

"I wanted to finish the match, but you can't do anything about the rain," said Berdych, who lost the 2005 final to Rafael Nadal. "I'm happy I managed to hold with the score 0-30."

Verdasco made 10 double-faults in the match but only one in the opening set when the left-hander outplayed Berdych on the slow clay.

"It was really tough in the beginning," said Berdych, who lost to Verdasco in the third round at Wimbledon. "He played great. I just tried to stay close."
