Robin Soderling advanced to the French Open final on Friday for the second year in a row by rallying past Tomas Berdych 6-3 3-6 5-7 6-3 6-3.
The fifth-seeded Soderling served 18 aces, overcame 63 unforced errors and swept the final four games of the three-and-a-half-hour match.
It was only the fifth five-set win in the Swede's career.
Soderling has a knack for upsets at Roland Garros, with victories over Rafael Nadal last year and Roger Federer this year.
On Sunday, Soderling will play the winner of the second semi-final between four-time champion Nadal and Jurgen Melzer.
Soderling's only other grand slam final was at the French Open last year, when he lost to Federer.
