Australia's Samantha Stosur reached the WTA Tournament of Champions semifinals on Friday with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Bulgarian wildcard Tsvetana Pironkova.
Stosur will face Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the final while Saturday's other semifinal will feature former world No 1 Ana Ivanovic against in-form Romanian, Simona Halep who has five titles to her name this year.
Ivanovic, the world number 16, made it to the last four despite losing her last group match 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (7/1) to Russia's Elena Vesnina.
Former French Open champion Ivanovic had led 5-2 in the final set.
The 22-year-old Halep made the semifinals by winning all of her three group matches without conceding a set and dropping just 16 games.
