Safina vs Wozniacki battle in Madrid

Russian Dinara Safina will bid to win back-to-back titles on Sunday when she faces Danish teenager Caroline Wozniacki in the final of the Madrid Masters.

Top-seeded World No 1 Safina will be playing her third clay final in as many weeks after losing Stuttgart to Svetlana Kuznetsova and beating her compatriot last weekend in Rome.

Safina and Woz-niacki, who put out fatigued French veteran Amelie Mauresmo 7-6 (7-1), 6-3, have never played. Safina stopped 30-year-old Swiss Patty Schnyder 6-4, 6-2, winning with two breaks per set while dropping her own serve once.

The Russian fired 28 winners and 30 unforced errors to win her 27th match of the season.
