World number 137 Francisco Cerundolo reached the Buenos Aires ATP final on Saturday, one week after younger brother Juan Manuel triumphed at the Cordoba tournament. The 22-year-old Francisco defeated fifth-seeded Albert Ramos-Vinolas of Spain 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 6-2 to book his place in an ATP final for the first time. Having qualified for the main draw, he will on Sunday tackle either top-seeded compatriot and world number nine Diego Schwartzman or Miomir Kecmanovic of Serbia. Last weekend, 19-year-old Juan Manuel Cerundolo, ranked a lowly 181, claimed the Cordoba title on his main draw debut by beating Ramos-Vinolas in the final. No brothers have ever won an ATP title in back-to-back weeks. ati/gf/dj/mw
