Serena Williams beats Wozniacki to reach WTA final (Yahoo Sports)

Serena Williams will get a chance to avenge a humiliating loss against Simona Halep after they both advanced to the championship match of the season-ending WTA Finals with victories in contrasting style on Saturday. Williams beat Caroline Wozniacki in a thrilling contest 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6) to remain on course for a third-straight title, while Halep swept aside Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2, 6-2 to put herself in a position for the biggest title of her career. Halep beat Williams 6-0, 6-2 in the group stage, inflicting the American’s heaviest loss in 16 years, and the Romanian has been the form player of the tournament, dropping only 27 games across four matches against top-eight-ranked opponents. It was a bittersweet win for Williams, who has developed a close off-court friendship with Wozniacki.
