Wozniacki is looking for her third straight title in her home tournament and broke the Croatian's serve twice in each set to wrap up the win in 1 hour, 8 minutes. She lost her serve once in the first set, but didn't face a break point the rest of the way.

''We played tennis on a high level today. Petra played a good match, she served well and put pressure (on me) the whole time,'' Wozniacki said. ''She slices a lot, so there's no way out. She doesn't want to play long duels, so I had to put pressure on her.''

Kerber beat third-seeded Jelena Jankovic 6-2, 6-1 in the other semifinal, breaking the former top-ranked Serb five times while never dropping serve.
