Kvitova to play Azarenka in final

Sat, 29 Oct 16:50:00 2011

Czech left-hander Petra Kvitova hit back from a set down to beat Samantha Stosur 5-7 6-3 6-3 in a fluctuating semi-final at the WTA Championships in Istanbul and is now one win away from a $1.75 million jackpot and second spot in the rankings

The 21-year-old Wimbledon champion, a debutant at the season-ending showpiece featuring the top eight women in the world after rising from 34th in the rankings in January, will face in-form Belarussian Victoria Azarenka in Sunday´s final.

Azarenka enjoyed a routine 6-2 6-3 victory over Russia´s Vera Zvonareva in the other semi-final and would also claim second place in the year´s final ranking list should she beat Kvitova in the Sinan Erdem Dome on Sunday.

Whoever wins, both look capable of catching world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the new year.

Note : Kvitova is great talent and hope she will win the cup tomorrow.
