Johanna Konta is through to her third WTA Tour final after setting up a clash with second seed Agnieszka Radwanska at the Apia International in Sydney.
Konta, from Eastbourne, has not dropped a set at the tournament so far and was at her aggressive best in a 6-2 6-2 victory over Eugenie Bouchard, in the last match of the evening session.
From 2-2 in the opening set, the world No. 10 won seven games in a row and will now bid to win her second Tour title against second seed Radwanska in tomorrow's final.
Konta won her first title in Stanford last summer but lost to Radwanska in Beijing in October.
This week's run is yet another demonstration that Konta fully deserves her top-ten place and she goes into the Australian Open, where she reached the semi-finals 12 months ago, as a title contender.
Konta said: "She's (Radwanska) been one of the best players for as long as I can remember. 'I played her twice before, lost twice, so hopefully I'll do a better job tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the challenge.''
