Third seed Thomaz Bellucci ended hometown favourite Fernando Gonzalez’s run at the Movistar Open in Santiago and will face Juan Monaco in the final.
The Brazilian, ranked 35th in the world, lost the first set 6-3 but came back to take the second with a decisive break in the 10th game.
And he pushed on to complete a 3-6 6-4 6-3 victory in one hour and 54 minutes.
Second seed Monaco, from Argentina, had a much easier passage to the final with a 6-1 6-4 rout of Brazilian qualifier Joao Souza.
Monaco broke twice in each set and won 68 per cent of points on his serve to seal a routine 73-minute win.

Thomaz Bellucci began the year reaching the Brasil Open final for the first time, but eventually lost to higher-ranked Tommy Robredo. It was his first ATP Tour final, after a string of Challengers. But later, he would win his first title in Gstaad after beating local hope Stanislas Wawrinka, two-time runner-up Igor Andreev, and first-time finalist Andreas Beck in the second round, semi-finals and final respectively.
Bellucci is on a 10 game winning streak, and will meet Giles Simon of France on an outside court today. Both players were born in Decenber but 3 years apart. Simon who is currently ranked #9 has had an up and down year, and will have his hands full against the young Brazillian.
