TENNIS:

Top seed Caroline Wozniacki battled through two matches within four hours to set up a final against second seed Julia Goerges at the Auckland Classic. Heavy rain throughout the week had caused havoc with the schedule, forcing organisers to play the quarter-finals and both semi-finals yesterday and move the final to today. The Dane struggled in her earlier quarter-final against the 19-year-old American wildcard Sofia Kenin before winning the rain-affected match 4-6 6-2 6-4, and returned to centre court to account for US qualifier Sachia Vickery.
