Two British women will contest a WTA Tour final for the first time since 1977 after Katie Boulter and Jodie Burrage both progressed at the Nottingham Open.
Boulter beat fellow Briton Heather Watson 6-4 7-5 before Burrage upset France’s Alize Cornet 7-5 7-5.
Both players will be appearing in their first WTA final with the British number one ranking also up for grabs.
It is a stark contrast to the French Open where not one British woman made the main draw.
The last time two British women featured in a WTA Tour final was when Sue Barker played Virginia Wade in San Francisco in February 1977.
