WTA: After two days of rain: Görges in the final of Auckland

Julia Görges did not miss a two-day rain break either: Germany’s best female tennis player has reached the final at the WTA tournament in Auckland/New Zealand after a long wait.

In the round of the last eight, the 29-year-old from Bad Oldesloe defeated the Slovenian Polona Hercog 6:4,6:4 on Saturday afternoon (local time).

Due to the postponements in the process, the number two of the seed list had to face a blow after only a few hours after their quarter-finals, the world rankings-14. against Hsieh Su-Wei from Taiwan.

With success! Görges won 6:1,6:4 and will now meet Caroline Wozniacki in the final on Sunday. The top seeded Dane also had to play twice: After her 4-6, -6-2, -6-4 in the quarter-final against US wildcard holder Sofia Kenin, the WTA final winner had fewer problems with Sachia Vickery at 6-4,6-4,6-4. USA qualifier Agnieszka Radwanska had previously been able to hold her ground against Poland’s favourite Agnieszka Radwanska.

For Görges it was the 13th World Championships in October and November 2017 after the tournament victories in Moscow and at the B-WM in Zhuhai, China. Victory in a row. She could win her fifth WTA title in Auckland.
