Friday 1 May 2015 19:08, UK
Fourth seed Elina Svitolina eased into the final of the Grand Prix SAR La Princesse Lalla Meryem thanks to a straight-sets victory over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.
The Ukrainian needed barely an hour to post a 6-0 6-3 victory and end the challenge of her seventh-seeded opponent.
Svitolina is chasing her third WTA title and will take on Hungary's Timea Babos in Saturday's final.
Babos, who is not seeded in Marrakech, beat Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic 6-4 6-4 as she hunts a second tour trophy to add to the silverware she won at Monterrey in 2012.
