TASHKENT, Uzbekistan — Sabine Lisicki upset top-seeded Peng Shuai 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 today to reach the final of the Tashkent Open.

The fourth-seeded German will face third-seeded Sorana Cirstea, who advanced after Magdalena Rybarikova retired because of fatigue in the other semifinal. Cirstea won the first set 6-3.

It will be the first WTA Tour final for Lisicki, while Cirstea was a runner-up in Budapest last year.

The 19-year-old Lisicki, ranked 64th, reached the third round of the Australian Open. She played in her first quarterfinal of a WTA event in Cincinnati in August.
