Enqvist Reaches Final in Marseille Tennis Tournament VOA Sports 17 Feb 2002 00:51 UTC 
Swedish tennis star Thomas Enqvist has continued his dominance over Russia's Yevgeny Kafelnikov in France to reach the final of the Marseille Open indoor tournament. The unseeded Enqvist fought back from a first set loss Saturday to beat the second-seeded Russian defending champion, 6-7, 7-6, 6-4.
Enqvist has won just five of his 11 career meetings with Kafelnikov. But the Swede has won all four of their matches played on French soil. Enqvist will meet Frenchman Nicolas Escude in Sunday's final. Escude defeated his compatriot Cedric Pioline, 6-3, 7-5, in the other semifinal.
