No. 2 seed Katie Boulter of Great Britain moved to her third final of the year after defeating No. 6 seed Yuan Yue of China 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 at the Hong Kong Tennis Open on Saturday.

She won earlier this season at San Diego and Nottingham and will face top-seeded Diana Shnaider of Russia on Sunday for the title. Boulter won 68 percent of points (40 of 59) on her first serve and also converted six of 15 break opportunities.

Shnaider has three career titles to her name — all this season. She moved on by defeating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez, the third seed, 6-4, 6-2 behind five break points in 87 minutes.

Jiangxi Open

Unseeded Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland upset top-seeded Marie Bouzkova 6-1, 6-2 to cruise into the final in Jiujiang, China.

The Czech dominated in the opening three rounds, winning each match in straight sets, but was ousted by Golubic on the strength of eight service breaks by the Swiss in the 77-minute match.

In the final, Golubic will face No. 2 seed Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia, who topped Germany’s Laura Siegemund 7-6 (4), 6-2. Sramkova saved 12 of 15 break points while breaking the German’s serve five times.

Sramkova will be in her fourth final this season, winning in Hua Hin.
