DUBAI (Reuters) -Russian teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva continued her giant-slaying exploits at the Dubai Tennis Championships by upsetting Kazakhstani sixth seed Elena Rybakina 6-4 4-6 6-3 in the semi-finals on Friday.

Clara Tauson reached the final of a WTA 1000 competition for the first time after outlasting Karolina Muchova at the Dubai Tennis Championships.

Clara Tauson, ranked 38th, has three career WTA titles, the most recent one at Auckland last month. She is chasing her own history of being the first Danish woman to compete in a WTA 1000 final since Caroline Wozniacki. Clara Tauson becomes the 2nd Danish player to reach a WTA 1000 singles final.

Youth will be served in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, where 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva is set to take on Denmark's Clara Tauson for the biggest title of their careers.

Teenager Mirra Andreeva has become the youngest player to reach the Dubai Championships final after beating Elena Rybakina 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. The 17-year-old Andreeva trailed 3-1 in the third set before winning the last five games to reach her second tour final.
