29 April 2016 04:23

Lucie Safarova and Samantha Stosur will meet in the final of the Prague Open.

Stosur was handed a walkover in her semi-final after top seed Svetlana Kuznetsova withdrew with an abdominal problem, while Safarova's unexpected winning streak continued against fellow Czech Karolina Pliskova.

Safarova was without a singles win on tour this season until this competition, but made it four in a row with a 6-4 7-6 (7-4) success in her semi-final.

Safarova hit back from 5-1 behind in the second set to force, and win, a tie-break.
