Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska said the support she has received since escaping Russian bombings last week has helped her reach the final of the Lyon Open.
The 21-year-old collapsed to her knees in tears after beating Romanian Sorana Cirstea 7-6 (7-5) 4-6 6-4 to reach Sunday's decider against Zhang Shuai.
Yastremska is competing in the WTA event having fled her home city of Odessa following Russia's invasion.
"Because of you I am here still winning," she told the crowd.
Former world number 21 Yastremska previously described how she was "woken up by bombs" in Odessa before crossing the Danube by boat to reach Romania.
