Tokyo, Japan - Former world No. 1s Caroline Wozniacki and Ana Ivanovic will meet for the title at the Pan Pacific Open after winning semifinal matches on Saturday. The second-seeded Wozniacki outlasted Spains Garbine Muguruza, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, in the first match before the third-seeded Ivanovic upended top-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany, 7-5, 6-3. Kerber was last years runner-up. Wozniacki, the 2010 Tokyo winner, saved 19 of the 23 break points she faced Saturday, holding off the more aggressive Muguruza. The Spaniard had 53 winners, but also committed 50 unforced errors. Ivanovic was down 5-3 in the first set, then rolled from there. She dropped just three of the next 13 games to advance to her sixth final of 2014. The 26-year-old Serb is 3-2 in finals this year. She beat Venus Williams in Auckland to start the season and topped Jovana Jaksic in Monterrey in April before losing to Maria Sharapova in Stuttgart a few weeks later. Ivanovic then beat Barbora Zahlavova Strycova at the Wimbledon tune-up in Birmingham before falling to Serena Williams in the Cincinnati final prior to the U.S. Open. This is Ivanovics first event since a stunning second-round exit at Flushing Meadows. She hasnt dropped a set this week. Wozniacki is also playing for the first time since the U.S. Open, when she fell to Serena Williams in the final. The Dane is 22-4 since Wimbledon, with three of those losses coming against the top-ranked Williams. Sunday will mark her third final of 2014. Before the loss to Williams in New York, Wozniacki won the Istanbul title against Roberta Vinci in July. She is 22-14 lifetime in title matches. Ivanovic is 14-7 all-time in finals, including a loss to Martina Hingis in the 2007 Tokyo title match. Wozniacki beat Elena Dementieva for the 2010 Tokyo crown. Ivanovic is 4-2 lifetime against Wozniacki, including a 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 win in the semifinals at Monterrey earlier this year. The two have never met in a final.

After losing a two-goal lead four days earlier, the last thing they wanted was to do it again, particularly this late in the season and against a team theyve struggled against. Instead of folding, the Coyotes fought back, earning a crucial win before they head off on a four-game road trip. Radim Vrbata scored two goals and the Coyotes bounced back from a shaky second period to beat Montreal 5-2 Thursday night, their first win over the Canadiens since 1998. "We talked about coming out like we did in the first and I think we did a pretty good job in the third," said Coyotes defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who had a goal and an assist. "It wasnt great, but we got two points." With the Canadiens coming off a six-round shootout the night before, the Coyotes want to jump on them early and did just that. Vrbata scored 2:08 in, Lauri Korpikoski had his first goal in 19 games and Ekman-Larsson also scored for his 100th career point to put Phoenix up 3-1. The Canadiens picked up the pressure and the Coyotes spent most of the second period chasing, getting off one shot while serving a string of penalties. Alex Galchenyuk scored midway through the period on a two-man advantage, cutting the Coyotes lead to 3-2. But after blowing a two-goal lead against St. Louis on Sunday, Phoenix stiffened. Vrbata made it a two-goal lead in the third period and Keith Yandle scored less than 2 minutes later to put it out of reach, giving Phoenix its first winning streak since Jan. 16-18. Mike Ribeiro and Kyle Chipchura added a pair of assists for the Coyotes, who hadnt beaten Montreal since Dec. 9, 1998, in Arizona (0-9-2). "These are desperate points for us before we go on the road," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "We needed this one badly." The Canadiens came out flat after beating the NHL-leading Anaheim Ducks in the extended shootout the night before, allowing the Coyotes to dictate play. Montreal dominated the second period, leading to a series of penalties by the Coyotes, but couldnt sustain it in the third when Phoenix picked up the pressure. Andrei Markov had a goal and an assist, and P.K. Subban had a pair of aassists for the Canadiens.dddddddddddd "We started the game like a team who played last night and travelled and came here at 3 oclock in the morning," Montreal coach Michel Therrien. "Before we got going, we were in trouble, so we had to play catch up hockey and its never the solution to win hockey games." Phoenix made one big move at the trade deadline, picking forward Martin Erat, who played on the second line with Chipchura -- in place of injured centre Martin Hanzal-- and Vrbata. Montreal also added a big reinforcement, picking up high-scoring forward Thomas Vanek in a deal that sent a prospect and a draft pick to the New York Islanders. Erat had the impact on his new team first, helping the Coyotes score on his first shift when Vrbata redirected a shot by David Schlemko and sent it bouncing past Peter Budaj. Markov tied it later in the period on a slap shot from the left circle that bounced off the post and out of the net so quickly the officials didnt count it until after reviewing it about a minute later. Korpikoski put Phoenix back on top late in the period on another redirect, this one on a shot by Michael Stone for his first goal since Jan. 11. Ekman-Larsson put the Coyotes up 3-1 with 8.5 seconds left, beating Budaj on a wrister after a pass by Ribeiro from behind the goal. "I think sometimes its travel, but thats not an excuse," Budaj said of Montreals slow start. "Its not an excuse; youve got to be ready and I dont think we were ready right off the hop." The Canadiens fought back in the second period, spent most of the period in Phoenixs end, leading to a series of penalties, including a long 5-on-3 that led to Galchenyuks on a redirect. But, after going more than 21 minutes without a shot, the Coyotes took control back, getting goals by Vrbata and a redirect by Doan to remain ninth in the Western Conference standings.
