Kalinskaya goes to the Berlin final; Pegula defeats Gauff in suspended semi-final
Anna Kalinskaya booked a spot in her second final of the year on Saturday with a 6-1, 6-7(3), 6-1 victory over former world No. 1 Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals of the ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin.
Kalinskaya will face No. 5 Jessica Pegula on Sunday. The second semifinal between No. 1 seed Coco Gauff and No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula was suspended overnight due to rain, with Pegula leading 7-5, 6-6 (3-1). On Sunday's restart, Pegula won four of five points to win 7-5, 7-6(2) to advance to her first grass final.

Kalinskaya lost to Pegula in their only previous meeting, in the 2019 Washington DC semifinals (Pegula won her first title that week). Kalinskaya is 3-0 against Top 5 players this year.
Emerging: That week at WTA 1000 Dubai was one of Kalinskaya's breakthroughs this year. After beating Gauff, Kalinskaya stunned No. 1 Iga Swiatek to reach the first WTA final of her career. Kalinskaya ultimately suffered a narrow defeat to Jasmine Paolini in the Dubai final.
Kalinskaya also reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the Australian Open this year. Kalinskaya started this season at number 80, but is currently number 24.
Kalinskaya carried this rising form into Saturday's semi-final, where she fired nine winners and faced no break points in the opening set. Two-time Australian Open champion Azarenka fought back to lead 4–1 in the second set, but Kalinskaya took that set to the tiebreak before Azarenka took him out.
The winners came roaring back for Kalinskaya in the third set, where she had 14 to Azarenka's three. At 5-1, Azarenka saved three match points from 40-0 to two, but Kalinskaya called unreturned serves on the next two points to seal the victory after 2 hours and 10 minutes.
It was Kalinskaya's second win of the day. Earlier on Saturday, Kalinskaya advanced to the quarterfinals after No. 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from their rain-delayed second-round match 5-1 in the first set due to a shoulder injury.
All-American Showdown: Frequent doubles partners Gauff and Pegula took the court on Saturday evening for the second semi-final, which was also the second match of the day for each of them.
Earlier on Saturday, Pegula recorded a two-day quarter-final victory over Katerina Siniakova, while Gauff advanced after Ons Jabeur withdrew from the quarter-final due to illness.
In the first set of the all-American semifinal, Pegula earned a crucial break in the first set by firing a backhand winner's square on the sideline to take a 6-5 lead. Pegula served out the set in the next game, saving a break point.
Both players gave their best in the second set, fending off each other with beautiful lobs and passes. Pegula came back from 5-3 down to save a set point at 6-5, and she moved 3-1 ahead in the tiebreak before rain moved in and ended play for the day.
Pegula proved to be the sharpest player when the match resumed, as the younger American struggled to find immediate rhythm from the baseline.
