Venus Williams became the oldest woman ever to reach the final when she beat Caroline Garcia to set up a WTA Finals title decider with Caroline Wozniacki, She overtakes the 36-year-old Martina Navratilova in 1992 as the oldest woman to reach the final of the season-ending championships.
The 37-year-old American recovered from a set down to claim a 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 6-3 semi-final win over France's Garcia and make her first final since 2009.
Denmark's Wozniacki, 27, booked her place by seeing off Czech Karolina Pliskova 7-6 (11-9) 6-3 in Singapore.
Pliskova's defeat means Simona Halep will end 2017 as world number one.
Fifth seed Williams will go into Sunday's final with a 7-0 record against sixth seed Wozniacki stretching back to 2007
