Victoria Azarenka has set up a Rome Open final with world number one Serena Williams after ending local hopes of a dream final with a 6-0, 7-5 win over Sara Errani on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Azarenka’s all-round more powerful and varied game carried her through a first set that was interrupted three times – twice by rain and once by Errani calling for her coach after dropping the first three games.<\/p>\n

Errani, who had beaten the Belarusian only once in their six previous encounters, emerged with bigger ambitions in the second set.<\/p>\n

But despite battling all the way, she was broken by the tournament third seed in the 10th game before Azarenka served to take a 6-5 lead.<\/p>\n

Errani saved three match points in the final game but was finally broken by the more powerful Belarusian, who will face Williams in a final for the first time since her win over the American earlier this year in Doha.<\/p>\n
