She lost to Daniella Hantuchova of the Slovak Republic that year, which was her first WTA final. She will play the final against eighteen-year-old Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine who beat Magda Linette of Poland 6-4 6-3 in the drizzle interrupted second semi-final. In the second set the Australian dominated play with powerful baseline game, allowing the Slovenian only one game to win the set in 33 minutes. The teenager managed a break in the eighth game of the second set and comfortably held to pull off the win for her second final after winning in Hong Kong last year. I will try to hit like this tomorrow,” said the Ukrainian who beat Tomljanovic last year in the China Open qualifying round 6-2 3-6 6-2 in September.
