Sara will play the final against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to comment “I know Pavlyuchenkova well. She’s a very good player. Today she beat Maria playing incredible tennis, serving very well and fighting a lot on the court. I saw their match today.

“It will be tough. I have to be fully ready and playing well for tomorrow.”

Head to head is 1-0 for the Russian.
