Wozniacki will face Top seed Safina in final in Madrid

Caroline Wozniacki kept kept winning, and is now in the final of the Madrid Open. The Dane will face top seed Dinara Safina for the title, who won to Patty Schnyder in straight sets.

Safina ousted the 30-year-old with a score of 64 62.

"I've been feeling pretty comfortable on the Tour since I became No.1. I can't complain," Safina said. "I've played three finals in a row. It couldn't be better."

Wozniacki, the No. 9 seed, had a tough first set against Amelie Mauresmo, but easily won the second to reach the final. The final score was 76(1) 63.

"Even though she had set points in the first set I was able to pull through and win," Wozniacki said. "I tried to make her play my game. It wasn't easy. Amélie was trying to make me go out of my rhythm, slicing and playing a lot of topspin. I just tried to focus, make her run, not make errors and take my chances."

Safina and Wozniacki have never played together before.
