Youth will be served in the Adelaide International final as teenagers Mirra Andreeva and Victoria Mboko square off Saturday in Australia.
Third-seeded Andreeva, 18, advanced with a 6-3, 6-2 semifinal win Friday against ninth-seeded Russian compatriot Diana Shnaider in one hour and 24 minutes. She will be looking for her first career WTA 500 title to go along with two wins at the 1000 level and one at the 250 level last year.
Mboko is seeking her third title after cruising to a 6-2, 6-1 win against Australia's Kimberly Birrell in 59 minutes. The 19-year-old Canadian saved the only break point she faced and delivered eight aces.
