COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki has reached the final of the Danish Open after beating Anna Chakvetadze of Russia 6-1, 2-6, 6-4.
Under pressure to win the inaugural Danish Open in front of her hometown crowd, Wozniacki wobbled in the previous two rounds, and again needed three sets to get through on Saturday.
Wozniacki cruised through the first set. But Chakvetadze broke Wozniacki three times in the second to force the deciding set.
In Sunday’s final, the third-ranked Wozniacki will face Klara Zakopalova. She defeated second-seeded Li Na of China 6-3, 1-6, 6-4.
Wozniacki defeated Zakopalova in their only meeting at the Japan Open in 2007.
