Tennis: Chakvetadze in final

Russian Anna Chakvetadze reached her first final in nearly two years when she beat local star Polona Hercog 0-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the Slovenia Open yesterday.

She will play for the title with Swede Johanna Larsson, who advanced to her first WTA final when Russian Ksenia Pervak retired with a wrist injury while trailing 6-2, 1-0.

Chakvetadze won the last of her seven WTA titles in 2008.
