Caroline Wozniacki will play Vera Zvonareva in the WTA Qatar Open final on Saturday.

Wozniacki, 20, cruised past world number 18 Marion Bartoli, beating the unseeded French player 6-1 6-1 in just over an hour. Russian second seed Zvonareva booked her place in the final after a tough match against Serbian Jelena Jankovic. Zvonareva, 26, won the first set 6-1 but Jankovic battled back to win the second 6-2 before losing the third 6-4.

A finalist of both Wimbledon and the US Open in 2010, Zvonareva will now face an in-form Wozniacki who is chasing her second title in a week. Wozniacki, who won the Dubai Championships on 20 February, had been beaten by Bartoli in Stuttgart in 2009 and Cincinnati in 2010.

But Bartoli, a 2007 Wimbledon finalist, had no answer to her opponent on Friday as Wozniacki won six of her eight break points to take the match.
