The eigth-seeded player served 15 aces and hit 60 winners to progress to his second final at a Grand Slam tournament.

"Today was a tough battle, Jo is alawys a tough player to play, especially when he's playing at home here in Paris. The match could have gone either way also when he had break chances to take advantage in the third set but I stayed with him. I'm really happy and proud the way I stayed mentally strong even when I was really nervous in the third and the fourth set."

Wawrinka will face top-ranked Novak Djokovic or third-seeded Andy Murray in the final.

The semi-final between Djokovic and Murray was suspended at Roland Garros on Friday due to an impending storm.

The No. 1-seeded Djokovic led 6-3, 6-3, 5-7 and with the fourth set tied at 3-3.

The match will resume at 1 p.m. local time on Saturday.

It would be the third appearance in the final at French Open for Djokovic should he win the game.
