TOKYO — Rising Swiss star Belinda Bencic beat Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki on Saturday to storm into the final of the Pan Pacific Open, where she will face Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska.
Bencic defeated Wozniacki 6-2 6-4, her fourth win in a row over the former world number one, to reach her fourth WTA final since June.
If the 18-year-old wins, she will break into the world's top 10 rankings for the first time.
"It's amazing to be in the final," she said in her on-court interview.
"Caroline's a great player. If you give free points or aren't focused enough, she comes back and plays great shots and great tennis.
