Garbine Muguruza, Timea Bacsinszky to meet in Beijing final

Garbine Muguruza and Timea Bacsinszky will contest the China Open final after they both came through their semi-final matches on Saturday.

Garbine Muguruza has reached the final of the China Open after overturning a one-set deficit to beat Agnieszka Radwanska.

Radwanska had looked on course for victory after taking the opening set, but Wimbledon finalist Muguruza stormed back to record a 4-6 6-3 6-4 triumph.

The Spaniard will play Timea Bacsinszky in the final after the 12th seed registered a surprise victory against Ana Ivanovic.

Former world number one Ivanovic had won both of their previous meetings, but Bacsinszky broke serve seven times on the way to a 5-7 6-4 6-1 win.

Bacsinszky's success is potentially significant, with the 26-year-old able to earn a place in the WTA Finals if she can beat Muguruza, who has already qualified for the end-of-season tournament, on Sunday.
