Wozniacki, Peng to meet in Brussels Open final
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki outlasted French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 yesterday to reach the final of the Brussels Open.
She will face Peng Shuai in today’s final after the Chinese upset number three-ranked Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3.
In a match lasting two hours, 32 minutes, Wozniacki kept the coolest head in the final set and will now seek her fourth title of the year for a perfect warmup to the French Open.
The 31st-ranked Peng relied on her powerful serve throughout the match to pressure Zvonareva and capitalized on a string of unforced errors by the Russian to reach her first final since 2008 and earn a shot at a first WTA tour victory.
