Victoria Azarenka is through to her second successive US
Open final after a see-saw 6-4 6-2 victory over Flavia Pennetta at Flushing
Meadows.
The second seed put an end to the fairytale run in New
York for the unseeded Italian with a straight sets triumph after one hour and
34 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I am so excited to be back in the final and get the
chance to fight for the trophy."
However, the final scoreline did not do justice to how
hard Pennetta - who knocked out three seeds to make the last four of a grand
slam for the first time - made the 2012 runner-up work to reach Sunday's
showpiece.
