ophy on Sunday.Paszek, No. 85 in the world, defeated Daniela Hantuchova in a thrilling three-setter, 62 57 64, which will set up her rivalry aganist Swiss Schnyder.
"She's such a great player; I knew coming in I would have to play really well, and I did," Paszek said of Hantuchova. "I'm really enjoying myself here in Bali. I've been here for 10 days now and I'm in a great routine of playing the last match every evening, which helps. I hope to recover for my match tomorrow."
Schnyder ousted No. 4 seed Nadia Petrova in straight sets, 75 61.
"Today was probably the best match I have played here in Bali in the last couple of years," said Schnyder, who has reached the semifinals here twice before but fell in the second round last year. "I played really well, returned unbelievably and waited for the right ball to attack her on. We've known each other so long and it was a very high quality match. I have been playing very well the last few weeks and am very happy to be in the final here for the first time."
Schnyder will be playing her 24th career Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles final, having gone 10-13 in her first 23. Paszek will be playing in just her second, although she did win her only previous one, at Portoroz two years ago.
