Shapovalov defeated eighth seed Jenson Brooksby of the United States 7-5, 6-4 on Saturday while Nishioka beat another American, Aleksandar Kovacevic, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in the other semi-final in Seoul. "Brooksby was definitely a tough opponent," said Shapovalov, who rose to a career-high 10th in the world two years ago but is now ranked 24. "But I prepared for the match well and I had some practice time with him, which helped." The 23-year-old Shapovalov's only previous ATP title came in Stockholm in 2019.

Shapovalov and Nishioka have faced each other once before, with the 56th-ranked Japanese winning in the round of 16 at the 2018 Shenzhen Open.
