Berlin: Jessica Pegula returned to court to oust top seed and doubles partner Coco Gauff 7-5, 7-6 (7/2) to reach the final of the Berlin WTA tournament on Sunday.
The semi-final had been suspended overnight with fourth seed Pegula leading fellow American Gauff 7-5, 6-6 (3/1).
On Sunday's resumption, Pegula won four of five points to advance to her first grass-court final.
Pegula next plays Russian Anna Kalinskaya who beat Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 6-7 (3/7), 6-1 in a see-saw semi-final Saturday.
Kalinskaya lost to Pegula in their only previous meeting in the Washington semi-finals in 2019, with the American advancing to win her first title that week.
