Top seed Amelie Mauresmo of France beat Australian Alicia Molik 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) on Saturday to reach the final of the Antwerp Diamond Games tournament.

She will meet Anastasia Myskina of Russia or Venus Williams who were playing their semi-final later on Saturday.

Mauresmo served 14 aces and dominated at the net against Molik who was slow to pick up pace.

Mauresmo said: "I started well with some good serving and volleying and was able to stay in that zone all the time."

She added: "I saw Venus (Williams) winning her quarter-final yesterday against Kim Clijsters and she is very strong at the moment. We'll see what happens tomorrow."
