Carlos Moya came through a rain delay to set up a tantalising final against fellow Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero at the Salem Open in Hong Kong.

Second seed Ferrero came through the first semi-final 6-4 6-1 against Frenchman Jerome Golmard in just over an hour.

And Moya joined his friend with a 6-4 7-6 win over Jonas Bjorkman after play was briefly suspended due to rain towards the end of the second set.

"I am feeling really good right now," Moya said.

"Winning at Cincinnati (on hardcourt just before the US Open) has given me a lot of confidence on this surface."

The pair have met seven times, with Ferrero leading 5-2.

And they insisted their friendship would be put on hold for Sunday's final.

"All us Spanish players are good friends, we stick together," Ferrero said.

"We (he and Moya) even practised together before our matches today.

"We have had dinner and lunch together this week, and we have hit together. But we will forget that for a couple of hours tomorrow."
