BUDAPEST, Hungary, July 12 (UPI) -- Second-seeded French teenager Alize Cornet coasted to a 6-1, 6-1 win Saturday in the semifinals of the Gaz de France Grand Prix tournament in Hungary.

Cornet needed just over an hour to oust Hungarian Greta Arn, a favorite of fans at the Romai Tennis Academy courts.

Slovenian Andreja Klepac won the other semifinal match, rallying from a second-set loss to defeat Croatia's Karolina Sprem 6-2, 4-6, 6-4.

Cornet and Klepac will clash Sunday for the title. Neither has won on the women's tour.
