Kuznetsova marches into final
Print Edition
SVETLANA Kuznetsova reached her first final in more than three years yesterday with a 6-3, 6-1 win over fellow Russian Elena Vesnina to set up a clash with Carla Suarez Navarro at the Portugal Open in Oeiras.
The seventh seed who owns grand slam titles from 2004 in Paris and 2009 in New York, will take on the top seed competing in her third straight final here but without a career trophy of any kind.
Suarez Navarro overcame Romanian qualifier Irina Begu 7-6 (3), 6-1,
Kuznetsova has won three of her four meetings with Spain’s Suarez Navarro, the last in 2013.
“I’ve been playing well the last two weeks, and I’m happy to be in the final. I never really expected this, especially on clay,” she said entering her first clay final since Roland Garros five years ago.
“This means a lot to me. I’m far from my top level but I could still get into this final, I have a chance to beat a lot of top players and I’m gaining confidence.”
