Stefanos Tsitsipas and Ernests Gulbis are going to the fight for the Stockholm title on Sunday.
Tsitsipas
Stefanos reached his 3rd finals of the year after Barcelona and Montreal where he was defeated on both occasions by Rafael Nadal. Currently ranked no.16, the Greek is chasing his 1st career title at ATP level, and he seems to be well on track after he recorded 3 solid performances this week against John Millman (6-4 3-6 6-3), Philipp Kohlschreiber (6-3 7-6), and Fabio Fognini (6-3 6-2).
Gulbis
Currently ranked no. 145, Ernests is a former top10 player with 6 career titles. He got to the semifinal starting from the qualifications and after playing rather good tennis.
Interesting enough, Gulbis has never lost a final in his career!

H2H Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Ernests Gulbis
Stefanos and Ernests have never played each other so far.
The favorite
Tsitsipas is the obvious favorite to win the title, not only for his superior rank but also because he is playing very solid tennis. However, Gulbis has produced so many upsets over the week (Shapovalov, Sock, and Isner), that he can definitely win his 7th consecutive final.
When are they going to play?
They are scheduled to play at 3 pm.
