Our women's final line-up has been settled as Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska and America's McCartney Kessler book their spot in Sunday's women's singles final, after beating Magda Linette and Rebecca Sramkova respectively.

Meanwhile in the men's singles draw, Marin Cilic claimed his fourth ATP Challenger title of the year as he beat Shintaro Mochizuki in the final.

Women's

Yastremska became the first player to book their spot in tomorrow's final after putting in a confident display against sixth seed Linette, 6-4, 6-4.

The world No.46 made her move early as she broke the Pole in just the fifth game of the match. One break was all that was needed for Yastremka who eased to a one set lead in just 45 minutes.

Yastremska picked up where she left off in the second, coming through an eight deuce game on her way to taking a 4-1 lead over Linette.

A brief pause in play due to a rain shower allowed the sixth seed time to re-group as she managed to recover one of the breaks but some solid serving from the Ukraine helped her maintain her lead as she went on to punch her ticket to tomorrow's final in an hour and 42 minutes.

Meanwhile, Kessler also came through in straight sets after defeating Slovakia’s Sramkova 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 10 minutes.

Both players had their opportunities to break early on in the set but neither were able to find the breakthrough.

Sramkova looked well on her way to holding firm to move 5-4 up in the opener as she eased to a 40-15 lead on her service game. However, a couple of fiery returns saw Kessler claw to deuce before a double fault from the Slovakian’s racket gifted the decisive break.

The American has looked comfortably at home on the grass all week and today was no different.

Riding the momentum, Kessler seized her opportunity at the beginning of the second, storming ahead to a 4-0 lead on centre court at the Lexus Nottingham Tennis Centre to put the match beyond doubt as she closed in on a spot in tomorrow’s final with a hold to 15.

Men's

Former US Open champion Cilic needed just an hour and 11 minutes to etch his name on the Lexus Nottingham Open trophy as he secured a 6-2, 6-3 victory over Mochizuki.

It was an impressive display from the former world No.3 who broke the 22-year-old from Japan three times on his way to being crowned champion in Nottingham.

Having sealed the decisive break at 4-3 in the second set, Cilic went on to claim his first ATP Challenger title on grass with a thunderous forehand that kissed the baseline.

In a battle between the second and third seeds, it was the higher ranked pair, Austin Krajicek and Santiago Gonzalez who emerged victorious as they defeated John-Patrick Smith and Fernando Romboli 7-6(7), 6-4 in an hour and 30 minutes.

This title marked a third trophy for the Brazilian, American duo.
