Two more people were arrested outside the WTA event in Auckland as noisy anti-Israeli protests continued for the fourth straight day.

Five people were arrested on Wednesday and one person on Tuesday.

The protests are likely to stop now that Israel's Shahar Peer, the target of the demonstrations, has lost 6-4, 7-5 to Yanina Wickmayer.

Wickmayer will face Flavia Pennetta in the final after Pennetta cruised past fellow Italian Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-0 in 57 minutes.
