The match was suspended on Saturday due to rain, with world number five Pegula leading 7-5 6-6(3-1) and wasting no time after the match resumed on Sunday by winning four of the last five points to reach her first grasscourt final

Top seed Coco Gauff crashed out of the Berlin Open with a 7-5 7-6(2) defeat by fellow American Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals on Sunday.

Pegula has now extended her head-to-head lead over U.S. Open champion Gauff to 3-1.

The 30-year-old now faces Russian Anna Kalinskaya, who beat former world number one Victoria Azarenka in three sets.
