广州公开赛决赛对阵出炉：Dart挽救3个赛点首进巡回赛决赛、将战52分钟速胜的Tagger
在中国广州举行的广州公开赛（WTA 250）周六完成半决赛，决赛对阵出炉：英国选手 Harriet Dart 将与奥地利四号种子 Lilli Tagger 在周日争夺冠军，两人此前从未在巡回赛交手。
从资格赛打起的 Dart 现年30岁，她以5比7、7比6（1）、6比0击败16岁的中国外卡选手孙心然，用时2小时29分钟。Dart 在第二盘第十局挽救了3个赛点，随后在抢七中一路领先拿下，并在决胜盘一局未丢完成逆转。这是她职业生涯首次打进 WTA 巡回赛单打决赛，获胜将有望让她重返世界前100。
另一场半决赛呈现完全不同的进程：Tagger 仅用52分钟就以6比2、6比0横扫西班牙选手 Kaitlin Quevedo。她全场一发得分19分全取，其中包括5个 ace，并且没有面临过任何一个破发点。她在本周早些时候还曾以6比2、6比2击败 Venus Williams。
孙心然以外卡身份打进四强，是本站中国选手走得最远的一位；她在半决赛中与 Dart 激战近两个半小时，第二盘一度手握3个赛点，最终遗憾落败。据路透社报道。
Guangzhou Final Set: Dart Saves Three Match Points to Reach First Tour Final Against Tagger
The final is set at the Guangzhou Open in China after two very different semi-finals on Saturday: Britain's Harriet Dart will face fourth-seeded Lilli Tagger of Austria for the WTA 250 title on Sunday, in their first meeting on tour.
Dart, a 30-year-old qualifier, rallied for a 5-7, 7-6 (1), 6-0 victory against 16-year-old Chinese wildcard Xinran Sun in two hours and 29 minutes. She survived three match points in the 10th game of the second set before racing through the tiebreak and winning the deciding set without dropping a game. It is the first WTA Tour singles final of her career, and a title would put her back inside the world's top 100.
Tagger took a far shorter route, needing just 52 minutes to complete a 6-2, 6-0 win over Spain's Kaitlin Quevedo. She won all 19 points on her first serve, including five aces, and never faced a break point. Earlier in the week she had also beaten Venus Williams 6-2, 6-2.
Sun, the last Chinese player in the draw, pushed Dart for nearly two and a half hours and held three match points in the second set before falling short, according to Reuters.
