ANTWERP, Belgium, Feb 17 Top seed, Amelie Mauresmo moved to within one win of a 1 million

ANTWERP, Belgium, Feb 17 (Reuters) Top seed, Amelie Mauresmo moved to within one win of a 1 million euros ($1.31 million) prize with a 6-3 3-6 6-2 victory over Russia's Anna Chakvetadze in the semi-finals at the Diamond Games today.

French world number three Mauresmo will earn a diamond studded racket if she is victorious in tomorrow's final, where she will face either compatriot Tatiana Golovin or Belgian Kim Clijsters.

The racket is awarded for three title wins in five years and Mauresmo scored back-to-back victories in Antwerp in 2005 and 2006.

Her win over Chakvetadze was a rematch of their quarter-final in Paris last week, which Mauresmo won in two sets.

Following a litany of unforced errors by her 19 year-old opponent, Mauresmo broke serve for the first time in the seventh game and went on to take the opening set.

The world number 12 hit back, breaking Mauresmo's serve in the fourth game of the second set and holding off two break points of her own in the next to level the match.

Despite suffering some pain in her upper legs, Mauresmo moved up a gear in the final set and took control of the tie.

After losing the opening service game, Chakvetadze capitulated and Mauresmo made easy work of taking the decider.
