Wozniacki faces Goerges in Stuttgart final

STUTTGART, Germany: World number one Caroline Wozniacki reached her fifth final of 2011 on Saturday with a gruelling 7-5, 6-3 win over Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska in the semi-finals of the Stuttgart claycourt tournament.

In Sunday's final, the 20-year-old Dane will face Julia Goerges, the first German woman to make the Stuttgart trophy match in 15 years.

Goerges, 22, became the first German for 15 years to reach the final here when she beat Australian fifth seed Stosur 6-4, 3-6, 7-5.

This is only the third time Goerges has reached a WTA final and she is the first German to reach the Stuttgart final since Anke Huber, who was the runner-up to Martina Hingis in 1996.

Stosur, who reached the French Open final last year after losing to Justine Henin in the 2010 Stuttgart final, said she was disappointed, but happy to have reached the last four this year.

Goerges and Wozniacki are playing for the winners prize of a brand-new sports car worth 111,000 US dollars.
