Tennis: Tennis aces Samantha Stosur and Daria Gavrilova will clash for the Australian No 1 ranking on French Open eve after setting up a high-stakes final in Strasbourg, Germany. Gavrilova is gunning to end Stosur’s remarkable recordlong 450-week reign as Australia’s queen of the court after continuing her hot claycourt run with a 6-4 6-2 semi-final dismissal of Caroline Garcia. Under siege following a near-decade as national No 1, Stosur responded with an equally impressive 7-6 (7-0) 6-4 victory over Peng Shuai to lock in the first all-Australian WTA title decider in 12 years.
