Date published : 21 Feb 2010 - 03:28:01

Eighth seed Julien Benneteau saw off compatriot Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to set up an all-French final against Michael Llodra at the Open 13 in Marseille.

Benneteau broke serve three times but was forced to come through two tie-breaks - the first something of a marathon - as he prevailed 7-6 (13/11) 5-7 7-6 (7/3) in just under three hours.

Llodra made easier work of his semi-final against unseeded German Mischa Zverev, winning 6-1 7-6 (7/3).
