Ajla Tomljanovic made quick work of Tamara Zidansek on Saturday, winning in straight sets and earning a spot in the Thailand Open final.
Sixth-seed Tomljanovic won 6-4, 6-1 in the semi-final match of the $250,000 WTA-sanctioned tournament in the seaside city of Hua Hin.
The Australian and world number 49 continues her remarkable run in Thailand where she has not dropped a set.
After clinching the first set against Zidansek on Saturday Tomljanovic darted ahead 4-0 in the second with the help of a powerful backhand winner during a long rally in the fourth game.
Slovenia’s Zidansek was unable to make up the lost ground and Tomljanovic polished off the match with a blast return winner.
In Sunday’s final Tomljanovic will meet the winner between Dayana Yastremska and Magda Linette.
It will be her fourth career WTA singles final.
