Romania’s Alexandra Cadantu and Hungary’s Timea Babos advanced to their first WTA career final after semi-final victories at the WTA Monterrey Open ON Saturday.

Cadantu defeated Hungary’s Greta Arn 6-2 4-6 7-5 after Timea Babos had defeated the second seed Sara Errani of Italy 6-4 6-7 (7-3) 6-4 in almost two-and-a-half hours in the first semi-final at the Sierra Madre Tennis Club.

Cadantu made the decisive break in the 11th game of the third set and held her nerve on her next service game to advance to Sunday’s final.
