INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) Serena Williams rallied after squandering a 3-0 lead in the second set to beat Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 7-6 (1) and reach the final for the first time since 2001, when she won and then boycotted the event for 14 years until returning last year.
''After the last final I had here, I never pictured myself being back,'' she said, ''so it's an interesting feeling.''
In Sunday's final, Williams will take on Victoria Azarenka, who advanced with a 7-6 (1), 1-6, 6-2 win over Karolina Pliskova.
