Top seed Caroline Wozniacki is through to the final of the Pilot Pen Tennis in New Haven after clinching a three-set win over Elena Dementieva.
Dementieva took the first set in spectacular fashion 6-1, before Wozniacki hit back to win the second set 6-3 and then held her nerve in the final set to take the tie-break 7-5.
This was after the Dane survived Dementieva serving for the match at 5-4 in that final set.
Wozniacki will now face Nadia Petrova in today's final after she also recovered from a set down to beat Maria Kirilenko 2-6 6-2 6-2.

In the men's draw, an excellent serving display helped Sergiy Stakhovsky reach the final after he defeated 12th seed Thiemo De Bakker 6-3 6-4.
The Ukrainian only conceded 10 points on his serve and did not face a single break point as he eased through and he will hope to continue his run of having won every ATP tournament in which he has reached the last four.
Stakhovsky will play Denis Istomin in today's final after he beat Viktor Troicki 7-6 (12-10) 3-6 6-2.
If Istomin wins the final he will become the first player from Uzbekistan to win an ATP Tour title.
