Teenagers Wozniacki and Lisicki reach final

CHARLESTON (Reuters) - In-form Dane Caroline Wozniacki upset top-seeded Russian Elena Dementieva 6-4 5-7 7-5 to reach the final of the Family Circle Cup where she will meet another teenager in German Sabine Lisicki.

The fifth-seeded Wozniacki, 18, who also beat Dementieva in the recent Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, looked set for a comfortable win as she went 5-2 up in the second.

Dementieva, ranked third in the world, then saved three match points as she fought back to take the contest into a hard-fought third set which the Dane edged.

Wozniacki, who is of Polish parentage, won the opening tournament on clay at Ponte Vedra last week.

Number 16 seed Lisicki had an easier path through her semi-final by beating French sixth-seed Marion Bartoli 6-3 6-1.

The 19-year-old German has never won a WTA Tour event and reached just one previous final -- losing to Romanian Sorana Cirstea in Tashkent last year.
