Hampton defeats Wozniacki to reach Eastbourne final
Qualifier Jamie Hampton knocked out former champion Caroline Wozniacki to earn a place in the final of the Aegon International in Eastbourne.
The American needed nearly three hours to beat the 2009 champion 6-7 (6-8) 7-5 6-3 and reach her first career final.
Hampton, 23, will play Elena Vesnina in Saturday's title decider after the Russian beat Yanina Wickmayer 6-2 6-0.
Should she triumph, Hampton would become the first American to win at Eastbourne since Chanda Rubin in 2003.
