Marina Bassols Ribera is vying for her second career WTA Challenger title of the year.

The 23-year-old Spanish tennis player, the No 6 seed, defeated Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, the No 8 seed, 6-4, 6-2 to move into the final of the Andorrà Open at Polideportivo de Andorra in Andorre.

Bassols Ribera, ranked No 145, will next face Russian Erika Andreeva, who defeated Britain’s Heather Watson 6-7 (6), 7-5, 6-0.

Bassols Ribera won against German Noma Noha Akugue (6-3, 7-5), Russian Ekaterina Reyngold (6-3, 6-2) and Latvian wildcard Anastasija Sevastova (2-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4) in the previous rounds of the Andorrà tournament.

Earlier in the tournament, Cornet, ranked No 118, won against Cagla Buyukakcay (1-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3), Spaniard Nuria Parrizas Diaz (6-1, 2-6, 6-1) and Dane Clara Tauson, the second seed (6-3, 6-4).

This is Bassols Ribera’s third WTA Challenger final of the year. She defeated Turkey’s Zeynep Sonmez’s at the WTA 125 Ljubljana in September and was the runner-up at the WTA 125 Valencia in June, losing to Egypt’s Mayar Sherif.
