-

Former champion Caroline

Wozniacki continued her late season resurgence by beating second-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland on Saturday to advance to the final of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo. Radwanska was close to victory, leading 5-3 in the second set, but Wozniacki seized momentum when she broke her opponent twice to win the last four games on her way to a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 victory. The U.S. Open semifinali­st also came from 3-1 down in the third set, once again winning four consecutiv­e games before closing out the match when Radwanska’s return went into the net. The Dane will face Naomi Osaka of Japan in today’s final. Osaka also rallied to beat Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.
