Ana Ivanovic, seeded No.3 this week, followed Wozniacki into the final with a 7-5, 6-3 win over the No.1 seed, Angelique Kerber, winning 10 of 13 games from 5-3 down in the first set to seal it.
"In the beginning it really took me some time to adjust to her game. It wasn't like my previous matches," Ivanovic said. "But once I adjusted and got more aggressive it started to go my way, and I'm really happy with the win today because she's always such a tough and challenging opponent."
Ivanovic's win over Kerber was her 51st WTA-level match win of the year, which ties her 2007 season for the most WTA-level match wins she's ever had in a single season. Can she get to 52 on Sunday? Both Wozniacki and Ivanovic are among the leading contenders for the five spots left in the WTA Finals, with Ivanovic currently No.8 on the Road To Singapore leaderboard and Wozniacki No.9. Ivanovic leads Wozniacki in their head-to-head, 4-2, and the Serb also won their only previous 2014 meeting, in the semifinals of Monterrey - that was their closest encounter to date, however.
