British women’s No. 1 Katie Boulter reached the final of the Hong Kong Open with a hard-fought 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 victory over China’s Yuan Yue at the Victoria Park Tennis Centre on Saturday.
The 28-year-old has shown fine form in Asia — she also reached the semifinals of the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo last week — and would end the year with a career-high world ranking (No. 23) if she wins Sunday’s final.
The Brit has already won two WTA titles this season — the San Diego Open in March and the Rothesay Open in June.
Boulter will face Diana Shnaider or Leylah Fernandez in the final.
