Dulko reaches Swedish Open final

Gisela Dulko has swept into the final of the Swedish Open after a straight sets win against her doubles partner Flavia Pennetta.

Fourth-seeded Dulko, of Argentina, broke Pennetta's serve three times in the second set on the way to winning 6-3, 6-1 at the clay-court tournament.

Dulko will play French second seed Aravane Rezai in the final after she defeated Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-3.

Pennetta hadn't dropped a set in the tournament before facing Dulko, but had to rescue a break point in only the fourth game of the match.

Dulko then broke the top-seeded Italian's serve with the score at 2-2 and again in the first game of the second set, before going on to complete a comprehensive victory.
