Top seed Yanina Wickmayer will face qualifier Mona Barthel in the final of the Moorilla Hobart International. Wickmayer saw off sixth seed Shahar Peer 7-6 (7/1) 6-3 in the second semi-final in Hobart to progress to Saturday's title decider. Barthel had earlier upset fourth seed Angelique Kerber with a 6-0 7-6 (8/6) victory, her third seeded scalp of the week. Kerber led 3-0 in the second set and 3-0 in the ensuing tie-break but was unable to take her chances to force a third set. Barthel, the world number 64, has drawn Briton Anne Keothavong in the first round of next week's Australian Open.
