Spaniard, Italian will meet in final; No. 3 seed Dane beaten in semis

Two of the best hitters dismisshed two of the pest players in the Tour, and at the end of the day, Anabel Medina Garrigues and Sara Errani are the ones who will be battling it out on Sunday for the title in Potoroz, Slovenia.

Medina Garrigues, seeded fourth at the Tier IV tournament, overcome a bad second set loss against German Julia Georges, but eventually won, 63 26 64. Georges previously took out home player Katarina Srebotnik, seeded 2nd, in the second round; but it was more of a task to take out the Spaniard, as the 19-year-old Georges wasn't proven strong enough to beat for the 25-year-old.
Errani, the No. 8 seed in Potoroz, upset No. 3 seed Caroline Wozniacki, who had high hopes of winning the $145,000 tournament, in the second semifinal match of the night, 64 64. The strong 18-year-old was on fire throughout the tournament until playing against the Italian, losing a total of just eight games in six sets altogether; but the 21-year-old Errani was too powerful for the Dane, and it was her second upset, the first being when she beat top seed Maria Kirilenko.

It seems as though Medina Garrigues will have the advantage on Sunday, winning eight of her 12 career finals, seven on clay, and one on hardcourts. But Errani is holding a nine-match winning streak, and she is in her top form, becoming champion in Palermo a couple of weeks ago; and also the Spaniard's and Italian's only meeting went into the hands of Errani, winning 75 46 64 in Bali last year.
