Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic closed in on a maiden WTA title by beating former world number one Jelena Jankovic to reach the Topshelf Open final.

The fourth-seeded 18-year-old showed no fatigue after a gruelling three-hour quarter-final against Kristina Mladenovic, winning 6-3 6-3 in 87 minutes in 's-Hertogenbosch.

Bencic closed out victory in impressive fashion by winning three games in succession and rattling off the final eight points without reply.
