Serbia's Ana Ivanovic set up final clash against Patty Schnyder of Switzerland in the Linz WTA event on Saturday.
Seventh seed Ivanovic took just 70 minutes to oust Italian Roberta Vinci 6-3, 7-5. For unseeded Schnyder, it took two hours and 15 minutes as the Swiss saved two match points before she clinched a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 win over sixth-seeded German Andrea Petkovic.
It appeared as if Schnyder would cruise to an easy victory as she swept through the first five games, but Petkovic eventually began to assert herself.
She then broke the Swiss left-hander's serve with a winning return, and although it was too late to save the opening set she pulled herself into contention in the second.
Schnyder broke at love to lead 2-1, but Petkovic leveled at 3-3 and after holding serve in the next game she dropped her next service game at love, broke as Petkovic served for the set at 5-3, but conceded her serve again as Petkovic broke on her fifth set point.
After a break each in the middle of the third set, Schnyder then faced two match points on her serve at 5-4, but she saved the first with a forehand winner and Petkovic made a forehand error on the second.
Schnyder then broke for 6-5 when Petkovic netted a forehand and went on to serve out the match.
