PRAGUE: Australia's world number 25 Samantha Stosur is through to the final of the Prague Open after top seed Svetlana Kuznetsova withdrew before their scheduled semi-final clash on Friday.

The Russian world number 13 pulled out complaining of a thigh injury, leaving Stosur to advance to a final on Saturday against the winner of the second semi-final between home hopes Karolina Pliskova and Lucie Safarova.
