The final will be an all kiwi affair at the Comfort Inn Open in Vancouver.
New Zealand team mates Campbell Grayson and Martin Knight are both through to the title decider at the $US20,000 PSA World Tour squash event.
Sixth seeded Grayson reached the fifth tour final of his career in convincing style, beating Mexico's Arturo Salazar, the eighth seed, 11-5, 11-8, 11-7.
However, fifth seeded Knight had to fight a lot harder to reach the sixth tour final of his career, battling to an epic five game victory over Egyptian top seed Tarek Momen. Twice the kiwi edged a game ahead, only for the world number 24 to fight back to level the match. However, the 48th ranked kiwi would not be denied, finally edging to a 13-11, 9-11, 11-9, 5-11, 11-9 victory in 73 minutes.
