Final chance: Italy's Lorenzo Sonego returns the ball to Dan Evans AFP/Florian SCHROETTERVIENNA: Lucy loser Lorenzo Sonego of Italy followed up his shock win over world number one Novak Djokovic by beating Britain's Dan Evans to reach the Vienna ATP final on Saturday .

Sonego had condemned Djokovic to his heaviest best-of-three-set loss in the quarter-finals where the 17-time major winner claimed just three games.The world number 42, who described that as"the best victory of my life", saw off Evans 6-3, 6-4 and will face red-hot Russian Andrey Rublev in Sunday's final.

"I'm really happy. After yesterday it was not easy playing against Evans because he has a good talent," said Sonego.Sonego, 25, had initially lost in the final round of qualifying in the Austrian capital to Aljaz Bedene six days ago, but entered the draw as a lucky loser when Diego Schwartzman withdrew.World number eight Rublev made the final when South Africa's Kevin Anderson retired with a leg injury at 6-4, 4-1 down."I came here thinking that I have nothing to lose.

Rublev, the fifth seed, eliminated defending champion Dominic Thiem in the quarter-finals on Friday and has not dropped a set this week.
