Watch semi-final match highlights between Daniela Hantuchova and Alison Riske at the Aegon Classic.

Daniela Hantuchova sealed her place in the Aegon Classic final after battling past Alison Riske in the final four at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

The Slovakian world No.60 overcame the American qualifier 5-7, 6-1, 6-4 in a rain interrupted match lasting over two hours.

After the match, Hantuchova said: "I was a little bit unlucky in the first set but I am really happy that I turned it around."

Hantuchova, who finished as the runner-up in Birmingham in 2011 to Sabine Lisicki of Germany, will play Croatian youngster Donna Vekic in the final on Sunday.

"She is having a really good week," commented Hantuchova. "She has beaten some really good players and grass obviously suits her game too."

The last time 30-year-old Hantuchova reached a WTA final was at Brisbane in January 2012.
