Russia's Vera Zvonareva made it into her second successive Grand Slam final by defeating top seed Caroline Wozniacki in the US Open semifinals on Friday evening.
Zvonareva lost her last meeting with Wozniacki which took place on August 23 in the Rogers Cup final in Montreal
However, the Russian who is seeded seven in the U.S. Open, defeated Wozniacki in two sets (6-4, 6-3) which continued for one hour and 25 minutes.
"It was very difficult for both of us with this wind today," Zvonareva said in an on-court interview. "I think I was patient and aggressive like I was in previous matches."
"Had five newly strung rackets before the match. In one hour, three of them gone. Don't think anything like this has happened to me before," she went on.
In the final, she will face the winner of the second semi-final between defending champion Kim Clijsters and Venus Williams, who won the tournament for two consecutive years in 2000 and 2001.
Zvonareva, who turned 26 earlier this week, will have a chance to win her first Grand Slam title, after finishing second in Wimbledon in early July.
