Sixth-seeded Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic defeated second-seeded Emma Navarro of the United States with a score of 7-6 (7), 7-5 on Friday night, securing her spot in the Monterrey Open final.

The 19-year-old Noskova is set to face Lulu Sun of New Zealand on Saturday, where both players aim to claim their first WTA Tour title in the hard-court event at Sonoma Club.

In the first semi-final, Sun emerged victorious over third-seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia with a score of 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (6). Notably, Sun defeated Noskova in the round of 64 at last week's Cincinnati Open. Noskova was an Australian Open quarter-finalist earlier this year, and Sun recently reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals, becoming the first qualifier to make it that far since 2010.
