Australian qualifier Gadecki into first WTA final in Guadalajara

Poland's Frech, seeded fifth, battled back in both sets to beat fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia of France 7-6 (7/4), 7-5. Sunday's winner in the 500-level hard court tournament will claim a first WTA title. Gadecki, 22, had never reached a quarter-final until this week, and she hadn't won a tour-level match since January. At 152 in the world, Gadecki is the third-lowest ranked player to make a WTA final this year, but her run to the final has included victories over former US Open champion Sloane Stephens and second-seeded Danielle Collins.
