Kenin to face Wang in Acapulco final

American fifth seed Sofia Kenin beat Bianca Andreescu in the semifinal, while Wang Yafan stunned Donna Vekic.

American Sofia Kenin will bid for her second WTA title when she takes on Wang Yafan in the WTA Mexican Open final.

Wang Yafan downed Donna Vekic to set up a final clash against Sofia Kenin in the WTA Mexican Open.

China's Wang advanced to her first WTA-level final thanks to a rallying 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory against Vekic earlier on Friday. Wang broke eight times as she prevailed after almost two hours on court with the Croatian.

 "It was a tough match," Wang told reporters post-match. "I tried to fight for every point."

American fifth seed Kenin proved too good for teenager Bianca Andreescu 6-4 3-6 7-5 in Acapulco on Friday. Canadian 18-year-old Andreescu led 3-0 to start the first set but she lost five successive games as Kenin hit the front.

Kenin – winner of the Hobart International this year – was pegged back by Andreescu in the second set but the 20-year-old was not to be denied in the third.

Meanwhile, at the Oracle Challenger Series at Indian Wells, Zarina Diyas, Jennifer Brady, Viktorija Golubic and Qiang Wang advanced to the semi-final.
