Men's Claycourt Championship in Houston on Saturday.

Reigning Wimbledon doubles champion Sock, ranked 46, went through 7-6(3) 6-3 against the world number 16 and will face either fellow American Sam Querrey or Spaniard Fernando Verdasco in Sunday's title match.

Anderson fired down 14 aces at the River Oaks Country Club but 22-year-old Nebraskan Sock came back with some big shots of his own to delight the home fans.
