MASON, Ohio (AP) Kim Clijsters benefited from her opponent's injury and moved into the final of the Cincinnati Open.
Ana Ivanovic hurt her left foot only 12 minutes into their semifinal match on Saturday. She got the foot taped and played two more points, then hobbled off the court in tears.
Clijsters came to the net and gave her a hug. The 27-year-old Belgian is the highest remaining seed in the tournament at No. 4. She'll be trying for her third tournament title of the year.
Russians Maria Sharapova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova were to play in the other semifinal.
