David Ferrer won twice on Friday to move into his third Heineken Open final.

After winning a tough match with Alejandro Falla in the morning, Ferrer won a straightforward match against third-seeded Fernando Verdasco.

Ferrer was never troubled, and he faced no break points in the match which he won 6-3 6-4.

The Spaniard will face Belgian Olivier Rochus in tomorrow's singles final and will have a chance to win his third Heineken Open (he took titles in 2007 and 2011). The match will begin not before 3pm.
