Reilly Opelka and John Isner will meet in the US Men's Clay Court Championship final in Houston, after they claimed semi-final wins on Saturday.
Opelka kept up his strong early-season form with an imposing 6-3 7-5 victory over Nick Kyrgios in the first semi-final, getting the job done in just one hour and nine minutes.
Opelka slung down 18 aces to 11 from Kyrgios and faced only one break point across the contest.
The 24-year-old Opelka won a title in Dallas in February and followed up with a run to the Delray Beach final, with a third trophy match of the season now awaiting him.
The American world number 18 said he admired the "intangibles" from Kyrgios that "you can't teach."
"He's got one of the best serves in the world and when he turns it on he can come up with some shots that not many guys outside the top 10 can," Opelka said in his on-court interview.
Opelka enjoyed the high-tempo match with Kyrgios, who typically wastes no time between points.
"I prefer to play at that speed rather than, for example, Rafa [Nadal] where it's 50-55 seconds between points," Opelka said.
"It's a totally different speed here and I thought I did a good job managing the whole tempo of the match. I put a lot of returns into play and I came up big with my second serve."
He will face 2013 Houston champion Isner, who came from a set down to defeat defending champion Cristian Garin 4-6 6-3 6-4.
The 36-year-old's serve improved as the match went on and ultimately propelled him to victory, facing four break points in the opening set, one in the second and none in the decider.
Isner also served 17 aces on his way to the final, and won 80 per cent of points on his first serve.
"It's never easy when you have to come back from one set down," he said. "My serve certainly helped me out a lot. I didn't have to hit too many balls there in the end, and I didn't want to.
"I'm so happy to be in the final again here. At my age you never really know when you can get back to a final of a tournament like this."
Nadal could face Djokovic in second round at Olympic Games
Rafael Nadal could face Novak Djokovic in a heavyweight second-round match at the Paris Olympic Games after the draws for the tennis tournaments were made on Thursday.
Nadal is widely expected to retire from tennis later this year, with the Olympics set to represent his swansong at Roland-Garros, where he has won 14 French Open titles.
He will play in both the singles and doubles tournaments, partnering current French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz for the latter competition.
Nadal and Alcaraz will face Argentina's fourth-seeded pair Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni in a difficult first-round matchup in the doubles tournament.
Nadal is one of just two players to have won Olympic gold in both singles and doubles since the sport returned to the Games in 1988, doing so at Beijing 2008 (singles) and Rio 2016 (doubles) – Nicolas Massu triumphed over both events at Athens 2004.
In the singles, Nadal will take on Hungary's Marton Fucsovics in the opening round, and the prize could be a second-round date with Djokovic, who faces Australian Matthew Ebden first.
They are on the same side of the draw as third seed Alexander Zverev, who faces Jaume Munar first, and seventh seed Taylor Fritz, who opens against Alexander Bublik.
On the opposite side of the bracket, Alcaraz will start his campaign against Hady Habib, with Britain's Cameron Norrie a potential second-round opponent.
Fourth seed Daniil Medvedev faces Rinky Hijikata in his first match, while fifth seed Alex de Minaur is a potential quarter-final opponent for Alcaraz.
Britain's Andy Murray withdrew from the singles event to concentrate on his doubles bid alongside Dan Evans on Thursday, and the duo will face Kei Nishikori and Taro Daniel of Japan first.
Should they advance, home favourites Arthur Fils and Ugo Humbert could await in round two, with Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul potential quarter-final foes, though the Americans will have to overcome Canada's Milos Raonic and Felix Auger Aliassime to get that far.
Murray and Evans cannot face Nadal and Alcaraz until the final.
Iga Swiatek is the strong favourite in the women's draw, having won four French Open titles on the Paris clay. Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu is her round-one opponent.
On her same side of the draw, there is a huge round-one clash between Naomi Osaka and 2016 silver medallist Angelique Kerber, who announced on Thursday that she will retire after the Games.
Elena Rybakina and Danielle Collins are also on that side of the draw, while Coco Gauff starts against Ajla Tomljanovic on the opposite side of the bracket.
Angelique Kerber to retire after Olympic Games
Angelique Kerber has announced she will retire from professional tennis after the Olympic Games in Paris.
Kerber, who won singles titles at the Australian Open, US Open and Wimbledon between 2016 and 2018, returned to the court after an 18-month hiatus earlier this year.
She had missed the entire 2023 season after announcing her pregnancy in August 2022, giving birth to a daughter the following February.
The 36-year-old has fond memories of the Olympics, having claimed silver at Rio 2016, and she sees this year's tournament at Roland-Garros as a fitting place to end her career.
"The finish line. Before the Olympics begin, I can already say that I will never forget Paris 2024, because it will be my last professional tournament as a tennis player," Kerber wrote on Instagram on Thursday.
"Whereas this might actually be the right decision, it will never feel that way. Simply because I love the sport with all my heart and I'm thankful for the memories and opportunities it has given me.
"The Olympics I've participated in so far have been more than just competitions as they represent different chapters of my life as a tennis player: the climb, the peak… and now, the finish line.
"Paris 2024 will mark the finish line of the most incredible journey I could have ever dreamed of, growing up with a racket in my hand.
"There are many more things I want to say and people to thank, which I will do once I completed my last match… but for now, I will take the time and soak up every second of this final episode on court."
Murray has played final singles match as Scot focuses on Olympic doubles
Andy Murray has played his final singles match after withdrawing from the event at the Paris Olympics, choosing to focus on his doubles campaign alongside Dan Evans.
Having endured a difficult few years due to injuries, Murray confirmed earlier this week that he will retire from tennis after the Games in the French capital.
Murray – who won singles gold at both London 2012 and Rio 2016 – was due to play both singles and doubles, teaming up with Dan Evans for the latter tournament.
However, he announced he had withdrawn from the singles ahead of the draws behind made on Thursday.
"I have taken the decision to withdraw from the singles to focus on the doubles with Dan Evans," said a statement issued by Murray.
"Practice has been great and we're playing well together. I'm really looking forward to getting started and representing Team GB one more time."
Murray also withdrew from the singles at his final Wimbledon tournament earlier this month, with his final match on Centre Court being a first-round doubles defeat alongside brother Jamie.
Murray and Evans face stern competition in the doubles at Roland-Garros, with Spanish duo Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal forming a heavyweight partnership at the venue where the latter has won 14 French Open singles titles.
