Unseeded Ana Bogdan (29) of Romania and No. 5 Caroline Garcia (28) of France advanced to the Poland Open finals with straight-sets semifinal wins on Saturday in Warsaw.

Bogdan reached her first career singles final on the WTA Tour with a 7-5, 7-5 defeat of Ukraine's Kateryna Baindl, who hurt her cause with eight double faults. The players exchanged seven consecutive service breaks to begin the match, which finished with 14 total breaks.

Garcia will be looking for her ninth career title after defeating No. 10 Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-1, 6-2 under rainy conditions. Garcia, who saved the only break point she faced in the 65-minute victory, beat Bogdan in their only prior meeting in the second round at Wimbledon in 2017.
