SYDNEY (AP) — French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova saved seven match points before beating Anett Kontaveit 0-6, 6-4, 7-6 (12) to advance to the final of the Sydney Tennis Classic. The tournament is one of several warmup events for next week’s Australian Open. The fourth-ranked Kontaveit dominated early before Krejcikova took charge in the second and held on through the tiebreaker. Alison Riske earlier advanced to what will be an all-American final in Adelaide after semifinal opponent Tamara Zidansek withdrew. Riske will meet Madison Keys in Saturday’s final.
