Donna Vekic has reached the final of the Bett1 Open Berlin with another semi-final loss for Maria Sakkari.

Vekic saw off Sakkari 6-4, 7-6 in the end and as a result reached a fourth career grass court final.

Always a threat on this surface, she joins finals in Birmingham and two in Nottingham with the latter gleaming a title.

She faces either Ekaterina Alexandrova and Petra Kvitova at time of writing, one a winner last week on the surface in Holland. The other a former Wimbledon champion.

Only Karolina Pliskova (six) and Angelique Kerber as well as Belinda Bencic (five) have reached more grass court final.

Staying power from the Croatian who will hope this season is her big Wimbledon breakthrough.
