Fantastic win for Daniela, especially after coming from a set down. Again could only see the scoreboard but it looks like the third set was comfortable in the end once Daniela had staved off break points on her serve and then got the crucial break in the fifth game of the set. Great momentum being built going into Wimbledon and hopefully title number two for the season is coming her way

Sabine Lisicki thrashed Peng Shuai in the other semi-final so she's Daniela's opponent in the final. Lisicki's serving has been very good all week and that's been key to her run here so Daniela will have to return well.

She said: "I always kept fighting. I am really pleased with how I played in the third set. I felt like my confidence was growing through the match. I wanted to win so badly, the grass court season means so much to me."

Hantuchova will play Sabine Lisicki at 10am tomorrow. "I have nothing to lose," said the Slovakian who will go in as the favourite, "I don't want to put any pressure on myself but I am definitely hungry for another title."

In a duel of the valuable trophy enters a German Sabine Lisicki, with whom he has a favorable balance of 1:0.
Hantuchova after advancing to the finals in Birmingham shine satisfaction. "I am very happy that I refer to the singles finals next.'s Victory over Ivanovic ranks among my most valuable this season. The third set was on my part really good. After rain break was not easy to go back again in court, but I managed to drive it. In important moments, I was able to play good shots. Nor do remember when I last match away at some 18 brejkbalov. It's proof that games with great self-confidence and very good signal ahead of to Wimbledon. I victory over a world leader Caroline Wozniacki on clay of Roland Garros I was saying if I play well, no matter who is on the other court. Today it is again confirmed. The first two sets were not completely ideal, but at the I was playful critical to super power," said Hantuchova, ktrej break at the beginning of the third set did not come in handy too.

"When I have a second set was properly excited. Nepotešila break me too, but I had the match. In Birmingham today was a terrible cold, which profited my arm, but the conditions were the same for both players," said Hantuchova, who is expected in the final a tough match.

"Lisicki also played very well all week, it meets the grass and be uncomfortable. I will have to concentrate on myself and do my best to deliver maximum. I will not under any pressure, because the procedure already in the finals is more than I was expecting before the tournament. Certainly fought on first title on grass."

"From the beginning it was also 'hojdačkové' but I score - frankly - not perceive too. I tried to play ball for ball, to be paid. I have therefore not been addressed, what is the status. I strove at all times deliver maximum. V the difficult conditions but it was important to believe that I'm better, it is then it also reflected on the court. I think Anu I broke a little when I poodvracala brejkbaly to the beginning of the third set. She is psychologically into submission and I no longer strictly had the upper hand and self-esteem. I felt that rival leaving. I am glad that I finished it then as I was. It was important that at key moments, such as the state of 3:3 in the second set when she was six brejkbalov, I played bold and aggressive. When I think about great victories, exactly this need. It's those players control the biggest - if necessary, so more turn. I do today was. It's a good signal even before Wimbledon. Especially with the third set, the I was already satisfied casinos, was part of my super. In the first two it was not to my liking, but it is nice to know that I can handle this game, although I did not play during the best ever," noted D. Hantuchova.

Hantuchova before finals, said: "I've ran here what I have before in preparation for Wimbledon wanted. Therefore I will certainly have nothing to lose. I am very happy that I'm in another final. Whoever is at this stage of the tournament against me, certainly must play well and get it over with hilarious week. I think the match on Sunday will be even more difficult than today, I must be ready and focus particularly on my game. " Commenting on his physical condition, said: "I'm trying to concentrate on tennis. Certainly it winter, which today was terrible, it does nothing to my arm, but somehow in the fight."
