Rome Masters: Azarenka vs Serena in women's final

Victoria Azarenka set up a Rome Open final with World No 1 Serena Williams after ending local hopes of a dream final with a 6-0, 7-5 win over Sara Errani on Saturday.

Azarenka’s more powerful and varied game carried her through a first set that was interrupted three times — twice by rain and once by Errani calling for her coach after dropping the first three games.

The Belarusian will now face Williams in a final for the first time since her win over the American earlier this year in Doha.
