The tightly-fought contest saw Sasnovich fall behind 6-3 in the
first-set tiebreak, where she saved two set points before Cornet
finally broke through to win the set. Sasnovich rallied from
there, converting 7 of 12 break-point opportunities while saving
7 of the 12 she faced.
Sasnovich will face Russian Liudmila Samsonova in Saturday's
final after Samsonova was a 6-1, 6-2 winner over Bernarda Pera
of the U.S.
Samsonova needed just 53 minutes to handle Pera. She served
seven aces without a double fault and won 56 of the 79 total
points (70.9 percent).

No. 1 seed Daria Kasatkina of Russia cruised into the final with
a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Frenchwoman Diane Parry in Granby,
Quebec.
In just 62 minutes, Kasatkina beat Parry by winning 22 of her 25
first-service points (88 percent) and converting 6 of 11
break-point opportunities.
Kasatkina's foe in Saturday's final will be Australian ninth
seed Daria Saville, who did not play Friday. After winning her
quarterfinal match Thursday, Saville moved into the final via
walkover when her would-be opponent, Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine,
withdrew with a shoulder injury.
