TOKYO -- David Goffin booked his place in the final of the Japan Open with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over fourth-seeded Marin Cilic on Saturday.The fifth-seeded Goffin plays Nick Kyrgios in Sundays final, after the Australian defeated second-seeded Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-4.Torrential rain forced both matches to be played under the Center Court roof.Goffin trailed 5-3 in the first set before winning the next four games in the third victory this year against his Croatian opponent.In March, Goffin beat Cilic in a Davis Cup tie, and then at Indian Wells.He won an ATP Masters 1000 event this year, and Ive beaten him three times,?said Goffin, who has never won an ATP 500 event such as the Japan Open. His?two career titles have been at the ATP 250 level.?This year I have proved I have a high level. Maybe one day, maybe tomorrow, I can win a tournament like this.Cilics serve, normally a reliable part of his game, misfired regularly.Even with that,?I had a lot of good opportunities, especially on short balls, Cilic said.Hes always trying to push you and you feel you have less time than you do. If you give him short balls, hes quick to get an advantage.Sixth-seeded Kyrgios made the decisive break in the seventh game of both sets in a crowd-pleasing match against Monfils.It was very entertaining. The crowd loved it and I had a lot of fun, said Kyrgios, who grimaced at the fans whenever Monfils found an unlikely winner.Hes probably the only one who can play those shots. Hes an unbelievable entertainer and athlete, and the one guy I look up to on tour. Id pay to watch him play. Chris Jones Super Bowl Jersey .

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- If you thought two weeks was enough time for Phil Mickelson to get over his second-place finish in the British Open duel with Henrik Stenson, guess again.Lefty said its going to take a long time to get over the British Open, probably longer than any of his other excruciating losses in a major.The hurt and disappointment wasnt because Mickelson missed out on either his sixth major or his first win since the 2013 British Open. This was the first time the 46-year-old Mickelson played his best, and it wasnt good enough.The 40-year-old Stenson won his first major with a record-shattering 20-under total. Mickelsons 267 final total would have won every previous British Open except in 1993, when Greg Norman shot 267 at Royal St. Georges.I think its one of those things where Ill look back over time and my disappointment will probably increase, because I think its the first time in my career that I have played to that level of golf and not had it be enough to win a tournament, Mickelson said at a practice to prepare for the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club. Thats a disappointing thing because I would have loved to have added another claret jug.Jordan Spieth, who played a practice round with Michelson on Tuesday, walked over to his playing partner Tuesday and told him it was fun to watch him, and that he was unlucky not to win.And thats when he said, `Hey, Ive been on that side of things (lately), Masters in `15, and Troon even more so two weeks ago, Spieth said. But then hes seen himself on the other side of things where no one is running away with it and he wins in a close battle or he wins by a lot, whether its in a major or regular tour event.Mickelson believes he will win again. He feels his game is improvinng, his swing is back and he likes the course.dddddddddddd He validated his first major -- the 2004 Masters -- by capturing the 2005 PGA here with a 72nd hole birdie.His goal this week is to play as well as he did at Troon.I dont believe that there is a small window, Mickelson said of winning again. I think theres a really big window of opportunity to add to my resume, to continue to compete in big events, for the simple reason that the feel and sensitivity of hitting shots; the ability to play golf courses a certain way, to visualize, to make birdies, to pull shots off, that has not diminished.Mickelson said the key at Baltusrol is to drive the ball straight and putt well on greens that have a lot of contours.Theres a lot of little rolls and knolls, said Mickelson, noting the greens are going to roll a lot faster than Troon. You can see multiple lines and only one of them is correct, and its sometimes hard to see.What many people would like to see would be another Mickelson-Stenson showdown.Stenson said he has not had a chance to talk with Mickelson since the British Open.Its one of those things, it doesnt really strike you when youre in the middle of it, Stenson said But afterward, with the 63 and the 20-under and the way we played, we pushed each other to the limit, both of us, for 36 holes more or less, and trading punches and blows all the way around the golf course for two days. That certainly is what made us play so well. We both wanted it badly and we performed so well because of each other.---This story has been corrected to say that Phil Mickelson shot 267 at this years British Open, not 265. ' ' '
