ANTWERP—Unseeded Argentine Diego Schwartzma­n upset top-seeded David Goffin 7-5, 2-6, 7-5 to reach the European Open final on Saturday.

He gained some revenge after Goffin — now ranked 12 in the world — routed him in straight sets, dropping just six games, when Belgium beat Argentina in last year’s Davis Cup semifinals.

“It was amazing for me,” Schwartzma­n said after securing his first win 12 matches against a top-20 player.

Schwartzma­n will need to produce another upset in the final against third-seeded Richard Gasquet, who earlier staged an impressive comeback to beat Britain’s Kyle Edmund 3-6, 7-5, 6-2.
