New Zealand tennis player Marina Erakovic today won a four-hour marathon against Russian Alisa Kleybanova to reach the final of the LTA Championships in England for the second consecutive year.
Erakovic, who lost to Kleybanova at Junior Wimbledon last year, gained her revenge by winning 6-3 4-6 10-8 in an epic grasscourt showdown at Roehampton outside of London.
She plays fifth seed Caroline Wozniacki, of Denmark, in the final.
