Memphis, TN -- No. 8 seed Robin Soderling maintained his perfect serving record as he advanced to Sunday's final of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships with a 7-6(2), 6-3 victory over No. 4 seed Radek Stepanek.

The 23-year-old Swede has yet to drop serve in 35 service games this week (saving four break points) and he will meet Belgian Steve Darcis in the championship. The winner will receive $163,750 and the runner-up $81,000.

"I feel very good and I love to play here," said Soderling," who will attempt to win his third career ATP title in his seventh final. "The center court suits my game and I played some really good matches here two years ago when I reached the final."

Soderling, who reached the final in Rotterdam last week, hit nine of his 12 serves in the opening set, including three in the tie-break. He also saved one break point at 5-5 in the opening set with an ace. He jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the tie-break and never looked back.

In the second set, Stepanek was broken in the fifth game, double-faulting twice, and then he lost serve serve in the ninth game.

"He was serving big and I had a chance in the first set but then the tie-break went quickly," said Stepanek, who is 1-3 lifetime against the Swede. "I'm disappointed with the loss but I played some good tennis with back-to-back finals and semifinals the last two weeks."

Soderling will attempt to become the fifth different Swede to capture the Memphis title (since 1976), joining Joachim Johansson (2004), Magnus Larsson (2000), Stefan Edberg (1985, '87) and Bjorn Borg (1977).

The 23-year-old Darcis rallied to defeat Jonas Bjorkman 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the semifinals to reach his second career ATP final. He won his first ATP title in Amersfoort, the Netherlands last July.

Unseeded Darcis rallied to defeat Jonas Bjorkman 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the semifinals of the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.

The 23-year-old Belgian will be making his second career ATP final appearance after winning the title in Amersfoort, the Netherlands last July.

"From the beginning I was playing great but Jonas was playing unbelievable in the first set," said Darcis, who will attempt to become the first Belgian winner on the ATP circuit this year. "I feel great and at the beginning of the year it was tough for me but it's my second time to be in an ATP final. It doesn't matter who I play in the final."

Darcis almost didn't get out of the first round after Vincent Spadea served for the match at 5-4 in the third set. "I was a little bit lucky in the first round but I gained a lot of confidence after that match," he said.

Bjorkman won the opening set by breaking in the third game and holding on to win 6-4. In the second set, Darcis broke for the first time for a 3-1 lead, winning an 18-point game. He then broke again for a 5-1 lead and served out the set. In the final set, the lone break came in the seventh game and Darcis held the next two service games to secure the win.

In the final two sets, Darcis didn't face a break point. Bjorkman saved eight of 11 break points in the one hour and 48 minute match.

"I felt like I played a good match today and Steve played a little bit better. It was a high quality match," said Bjorkman, who was appearing in his first ATP semifinal since Nottingham last June. "I am really pleased with my performance this week and it gives me a lot of confidence with the tournaments coming up."
