Radwanska and Petrova to play for Tokyo title

Defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska is one match away from winning the Toray Pan Pacific Open twice in a row. 3rd seed Radwanska needed under an hour to beat Anglique Kerber 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals. Radwanska hit 20 winners and made only four unforced errors in the match. Her opponent in the final will be Nadia Petrova, who defeated Sam Stosur 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals. Petrova, who hit nine aces, had first and second serve win percentages of 85 and 63. (Oh, Nadia!)

Petrova is now 6-3 against Stosur.

In the doubles semifinals, Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Kveta Peschke beat Julia Goerges and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova 1-6, 6-1, 10-7. Also, Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears defeated Sabine Lisicki and Lisa Raymond 6-4, 6-3.
