Serena, Hingis enter final

MONTREAL, AUGUST 20: Serena Williams set up a title match with top-ranked Martina Hingis in the Du Maurier Open, beating Arantxa Sanchez Vicario 6-2 6-4. Hingis, the defending Du Maurier champion, defeated Conchita Martinez of Spain 6-3 6-2 on Saturday. Hingis is seeking her fifth tournament victory this year, but has only won three times in seven matches against Williams.

The hard-serving Williams has won the last three meetings, including a three-set victory last week in the semi-finals at Los Angeles.

An hour after her singles match, Hingis teamed with Nathalie Tauziat of France to beat Kimberly Po of the United States and Anne-Gaelle Sidot of France 6-1 6-3 in a doubles semi-final.

Sanchez reached the Du Maurier final the last four times it was held in Montreal, winning in 1992 and 1994 and losing to Monica Seles in 1996 and 1998.
