West Australian Storm Sanders stretched her Pro Tour singles winning streak to 11 matches on Saturday with a 6-3 6-3 victory over second seed Erika Sema of Japan.

Entering the event unseeded, Sanders has now defeated the third, sixth and second seeds en route to the final.

Her backhand up the line was a weapon throughout the match, and Sema struggled to stay with Sanders in the hot conditions.

Sanders will be aiming for the second title of her career after winning her maiden title at the $25,000 event in Launceston in February.

In the Ipswich final she will take on Croatian qualifier Jelena Pandzic, a player on the way back from injury after reaching a career-high ranking of No.136 in 2008.
