The former World No 1, who ran the 2014 New York marathon for charity, needed two hours, 58 minutes to claim a 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 victory and will now meet either Angelique Kerber or Madison Brengle in today's final.

"I felt good right through until the end," said Wozniacki. "I love these long matches and if I can run a marathon, then I can play in great games like that. We needed nearly three hours and that would be a pretty good marathon time."
