Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska could be allergic to grass but said she loves the surface after reaching her first final on it at the Nottingham Open.<\/b><\/p>\n
The world number 46 beat Polish sixth seed Magda Linette 6-4 6-4 in a rain-interrupted semi-final to reach Sunday’s final, where she will face American McCartney Kessler, who overcame Slovakia’s Rebecca Sramkova 6-4 6-2.<\/p>\n
“I really love playing on grass, even though I think I have a bit of an allergy to it,” Yastremska said.<\/p>\n
“I’m very excited, and I was proud of myself. In general everything worked pretty well. I can’t wait to play in the final.”<\/p>\n
Yastremska, who has dropped just one set on her way to the final, faces the player who beat Britain’s Katie Boulter in the quarter-finals as well as top seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round.<\/p>\n
