In an interview after sealing his slot in the final after an early scare, Acquah who overpowered Reginald Okantey 4-6 6-4 6-4 said he was capable of beating anyone in the final.
"I'm not being overconfident, I just have faith in my ability and I know I will win this tournament, Acquah said.
"Like I have been saying, Ghana has a lot of good players but it's my time and I will surely go home with the prize money and trophy".
At stake for the winners of both finals is a GHS 1,000 cash prize each and trophy, while the runner-ups will earn GHS 700 each.
The tournament which started on Monday is part of an initiative by the McDan Foundation in collaboration with the Ghana Tennis Foundation to keep tennis players active.
