Jamie Hampton: Through to Eastbourne final after eliminating Wozniacki
Caroline Wozniacki's wait for a first WTA title
of 2013 was extended after she was beaten by Jamie Hampton in the
semi-finals of the AEGON International in Eastbourne.
The American
qualifier edged a tight contest against the former World No 1, fighting
back from a set down to claim a 6-7 (8-10) 7-5 6-3.There were a total of 11 breaks of serve during the first two sets, while a single break from Hampton was enough to round things off in the decider.
Wozniacki, who is currently ranked ninth in the world, has not won a tournament since triumphing at the Kremlin Cup in Moscow last October.
Hampton, meanwhile, will play in her maiden WTA singles final on Saturday, where she will face Elena Vesnina of Russia.
Vesnina cruised to a 6-2 6-0 victory over Belgium's Yanina Wickmayer, completing the job in just 51 minutes.
