Teenagers transformed the Moscow River Cup into a youthful break-out bowl.

Lefty lucky loser Olga Danilovic continued her inspired run through the field fighting off Aliaksandra Sasnovich, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5, to earn a place in her first career WTA final.

The 17-year-old Serbian stung her lefty forehand with ambition. Danilovic drilled 42 winners more than doubling Sasnovich's 20 winners.

Danilovic lost to Paula Badosa Gibert in Monday's final round of qualifying.

Given new life as a lucky loser, she's made the most of it.

Danilovic, who toppled top-seeded Julia Goerges, 6-3, 6-3 in Friday's quarterfinals, outlasted the fifth-seeded Sasnovich in two hours, 19 minutes today.

The victory sets up an all-teenage final between a pair of 17-year-old final debutantes: Danilovic vs. Anastasia Potapova.

Russian wild card Potapova held a 3-6, 6-4, 5-2 lead when Slovenian opponent Tamara Zidansek retired from their semifinal due to illness after one hour, 56 minutes of play.
