Sixth seed Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic reached the final of the Monterrey Open tennis tournament after beating second seed Emma Navarro of the United States 7-6 (7), 7-5 after coming back from a first set tiebreaker.

19-year-old Noskova will face New Zealand's Lulu Sun in the final, who reached the final of a WTA tennis tournament for the first time by defeating third seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (4) in the other semi-final. Both players will give their all to win the title for the first time in their careers. Lulu Sun defeated Noskova 6-4, 7-6 (4) in the round of 64 of the Cincinnati Open last week. Noskova reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open women's singles in January this year. On the other hand, 23-year-old Lulu Sun became the first qualifier to reach the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon Grand Slam at the All England Club last month.
