Austrian qualifier Tamira Paszek and American Bethanie Mattek-Sands advanced to the final of the Bell Challenge women's tennis tournament Saturday.
Paszek eliminated Christina McHale of the U.S. 6-2, 6-2 in one semifinal while Mattek-Sands upset third-seed Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic, 6-2, 6-1 in the other.
It's Paszek third career tour final. She won her only WTA title at Portoroz in 2006 at age 15, and was the runner-up at Bali in 2008.
Mattek-Sands advanced by eliminating Vancouver's Rebecca Marino on Friday. Marino was the last Canadian left in the singles draw at the US$220,000 indoor hardcourt tournament.
In doubles action at Club Avantage Multi-Sports de Quebec, Swedes Sofia Arvidsson and Johanna Larsson won their semifinal over American Lilia Osterloh and Anna Tatishvili of Georgia, 6-1, 3-6, 11-9.
They will take on Mattek-Sands and Czech partner Barbora Zahlavova Strycova who easily defeated France's Stephanie Foretz Gacon and Kathrin Woerle of Germany, 6-1, 6-2 on Saturday to book a spot in the doubles final.
