18th-ranked Zheng defeats 37th-ranked Zhu in a 3-hour, 19-minute match. Zheng will face Beatriz Haddad Maia in the championship match. Haddad Maia reaches her first final of the year with a victory over Daria Kasatkina.
The 18th-ranked Zheng needed 3 hours, 19 minutes to see off the 37th-ranked Zhu, who entered the tournament as a wild-card.
Beatriz Haddad Maia will be Zheng’s opponent in Sunday’s championship match after the eighth-seeded Brazilian stormed into her first final of the year with a 6-4, 6-1 victory over sixth-seeded Daria Kasatkina. Zhu responded by taking another marathon set to force a decider. But Zheng's serve was a telling difference as she powered to a 5-1 lead and then saved two break points to hold and clinch the win.
Earlier, 19th-ranked Haddad Maia maintained her perfect record this week with her third consecutive straight sets victory. The 93-minute win over 17th-ranked Kasatkina followed her opening upset victory over second-seeded Madison Keys, and then Caroline Garcia to win the group.
