The 27-year-old Pistolesi won four small tournaments last year but has struggled in 2003. Prior to this week, her best result was a semifinal in Auckland, New Zealand.

In the men's semifinals, third seed Guillermo Coria beat Peruvian Luis Horna, 6-2, 6-2, on a rainy day.

A semifinalist at the French Open, Coria will be aiming for his fourth title of the year Sunday when he takes on Spain's David Ferrer.

The 21-year-old Argentine is seeking his third straight title. He won back-to-back championships in Stuttgart and Kitzbuhel without dropping a set.
