EASTBOURNE, England, June 19 (UPI) -- Caroline Wozniacki and Virginie Razzano advanced Friday to the finals of the $600,000 Aegon International tennis tournament in England.
They will meet in Saturday's title match of the final tournament before the Wimbledon Championships open Monday. Wozniacki has won both of her previous meetings with Razzano.
Wozniacki, seeded sixth for the Aegon, needed to come from behind to get by Aleksandra Wozniak for a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory in Friday's semifinals. Both players won 90 points in the match and each broke the other's serve four times.
But Wozniacki was able to spread her breaks over the second and third sets to claim the win.
Razzano advanced when Marion Bartoli retired with a right leg injury. Razzano was leading 6-4, 1-0 at the time.
Wozniacki is 3-4 in career tournament title matches, including a 1-3 record in 2008 finals. Razzano is 2-3, with one finals appearance this year.
The winner of Saturday's match will collect $98,500.
