Swede through to her third final in Music City

Sofia Arvidsson will face fourth seed Marina Erakovic in her third final at the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships in Memphis. The Swede's only previous tour title came in the Tennessee event in 2006, while she was beaten in the 2010 final by Maria Sharapova. She had little trouble seeing off Alberta Brianti of Italy 6-3 7-5 in her semi-final, breaking serve four times, to set up a clash with Erakovic - the only seeded player to reach the last four. The Croatia-born New Zealander beat Russia's Vera Dushevina in three sets. She was pegged back in the second set, having broken three times to win the opener, but duly completed a 6-1 4-6 6-4 win to stay on course for a first WTA title. Erakovic beat Sloane Stephens, Evgeniya Rodina and Michaella Krajicek to reach the semi-finals, while Arvidsson beat Heather Watson, fifth seed Pauline Parmentier and Lesia Tsurenko.
