Pliskova reaches fifth final of year

BEIJING:World No.

Beijing, September 14

World No. 2 Karolina Pliskova surged into her fifth final of the year as she thrashed Ajla Tomljanovic 6-3 6-2 today at the WTA Zhengzhou Open.

The 27-year-old Czech, the top seed, needed just 69 minutes to defeat the unseeded Croatian-born Australian and will play Petra Martic tomorrow.

"I'm the first seed so I should win," said Pliskova, who has won three titles this year.

Croatia's Martic, the seventh seed, earned her place in the final with a 6-0 6-3 defeat of France's unseeded Kristina Mladenovic. Martic, 28, is enjoying the best season of her career and in April won her first title. — AFP
