Riske into Adelaide final after Zidansek withdrawal

American Alison Riske breezed into the women's WTA Tour final on Friday when 2021 French Open semifinalist Tamara Zidansek withdrew with an abdominal injury.

Riske, who is chasing a fourth WTA title, will meet either American teenager Coco Gauff or former US Open finalist Madison Keys in the decider.

Zidansek apologised for pulling out in a blow for the world number 31 just days away from the opening Grand Slam of the year.

"I have played a lot of tennis in the last three days and I am really sorry that today I won't be able to play my semifinal, as I am not fit to play my best tennis," she said.
