England's Adrian Waller upset top-seeded compatriot Chris Simpson in straight games in the semi-finals of the Baltimore Cup to reach the final of the $10,000 PSA World Tour squash event in its sixth year at Baltimore Country Club in Baltimore, USA.

Whilst world No51 Simpson had prevailed in two previous domestic meetings, it was the first Tour meeting between the pair.

But fourth seed Waller, the 20-year-old world No56 from Enfield, was on top throughout the match, winning 11-5, 11-5, 11-9 to reach the third Tour final of his brief career.

Waller's opponent in the final will be Jan Koukal, the second seed from the Czech Republic celebrating his eighth Tour final this year.

The 27-year-old from Prague also came through in straight games against an Englishman, beating fourth seed Shaun le Roux 11-8, 11-9, 11-6.
