BOGOTA, (MILLAT ONLINE/APP/AFP) – Former French
Open champion Francesca Schiavone shrugged off her 36 years to reach the Bogota final on Friday, despite her modest world ranking of 168.
The Italian, champion at Roland Garros in 2010, downed Sweden’s Johanna Larsson 7-5, 6-4 and will face Lara Arruabarrena, the world number 65, in Saturday’s final.
Arruabarrena defeated Spanish compatriot Sara Sorribes 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 in her semi-final.
