Bacsinszky had lost to Wickmayer last week in Linz, Austria, where Wickmayer won her second career WTA Tour title.

This time, the Swiss player rallied from a set down and blew a 4-1 lead in the third set but held on. Bacsinszky will play for her first title.

The sixth-seeded Lisicki fought back from 4-2 down in the third set then 5-3 down in the tiebreaker.

Lisicki, who won her first career title at Charleston in April, beat Bacsinszky in their only previous match in this year's Fed Cup.
