Anna Blinkova vs Lilli Tagger prediction
Lilli Tagger produced an astonishing final-set recovery to stun defending champion Viktorija Golubic and reach her first ever WTA final.
The 17-year-old, who is featuring in the main draw at a top-tier event for the first time, continued her fairytale charge with a 6-1 4-6 7-5 victory to hand the second seed her maiden loss at the tournament.
The Austrian underdog, who saved three match points against Golubic, will now tackle Anna Blinkova for the trophy after the Russian was too solid in a 6-4 6-4 success over Dominika Salkova.
World number 95 Blinkova will represent another major test for the teenager having not dropped a set yet in this year’s draw.
It may well be a case that the Russian ends Tagger’s incredible adventure under the intense spotlight of a final, but if the world number 235 continues to play her fearless brand of tennis and that wonderful one-handed backhand purrs once more, she could yet mark that main draw debut with an astonishing outcome.
