Sharapova, ranked seventh in the world, will play for her 24th career title against either Andrea Petkovic of Germany or Serb Jelena Jankovic, who play later yesterday.
The former world number one will be aiming for her second title of the season following her victory in Rome after coming from a set down to beat Zvonareva.
"I had a slow start, to say the least," said Sharapova.
"I needed to get my energy back and when I did that I started to make some shots and was able to turn it around."
