Daniela Hantuchova came from a set down to defeat fellow Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 on Saturday in the semifinals of the Monterrey Open.

Second-seeded Hantuchova will be looking for her fourth WTA title in Sunday's final against either third-seeded Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova or unseeded Latvian Anastasija Sevastova at the Mexican outdoor hard-court event. They played a semifinal later Saturday.

Hantuchova improved her record against her 20-year-old rival to 3-0 - two wins on hard court and one on clay.
