Croatia's Donna Vekic had to play twice on Saturday but did not drop a set as she cruised into the German Open final with a 6-4 7-6(8) victory over world number eight Maria Sakkari of Greece.
The 26-year-old had first beaten lucky loser Elina Avanesyan in straight sets in their quarter-final on Saturday morning after play was cancelled due to heavy rain on Friday.
She will face two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in Sunday's final after the Czech eased past Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3 6-4 in what was her second match of the day as well.
