Mirra Andreeva celebrated her birthday in style by reaching the Madrid Open final for the first time, as opponent Hailey Baptiste proved unable to replicate her previous-round exploits against Aryna Sabalenka.
30th seed Baptiste won a thriller against Sabalenka in the quarter-finals but Andreeva, who turned 19 on Wednesday, ensured her fairytale run came to an end with a 6-4 7-6(8) victory in their last-four meeting.
