Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova defeated Australia's Samantha Stosur 7-6 (7-1), 6-1 to advance to her third straight final at the Mallorca Open, a Wimbledon tune-up event. Sevastova dropped her serve twice in a competitive first set on Saturday, but she lost just five points on serve in the second set as she rolled to an easy victory, reports Efe.

"I never expected to make the final here three times in a row," Sevastova was quoted as saying on the WTA's website. "It was a tough draw here with a lot of good players." Next up for the Latvian in Sunday's final will be Germany's Tatjana Maria, a 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 winner in the other semi-final over American qualifier Sofia Kenin.
