Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki won through to her maiden Miami Open final at the expense of Karolina Pliskova.
Wozniacki rallied from a set down to upstage the second seed 5-7 6-1 6-1 on Thursday.
Seeded 12th at the WTA Premier tournament, Wozniacki was pipped by
Pliskova in the opening set after the Czech chalked up 24 winners in 62
minutes.
Wozniacki - a semi-finalist in Miami in 2012 - stepped it up from that point as Pliskova struggled on serve.
The Dane raced out to a 3-0 lead in the second set and never looked
back, carrying on where she left off in the decider to advance to her
third final of 2017.
"It's definitely special," Wozniacki said post-match. "I've made a
few finals in Indian Wells and I've won it once. This is one of the few
tournaments where I've never made a final.
"I think my best result was semi-finals like five years ago. You
know, it's always been a tournament where I wouldn't say I've struggled,
but just not had the results that I've wanted to."
