Jack Sock is through to his second successive ASB Classic final, after an impressive 6-3 6-4 victory over compatriot Steve Johnson. Sock has got better throughout the week and played his best match of the tournament today, with a clinical effort. After last year's virus on the eve of the final, Sock declared himself fit to play on Saturday. "I feel like I am a guy that progresses well throughout the tournament and I can play better deeper into the week." Sock and Sousa have met once before, with Sousa winning in three sets on the Madrid clay last year.
