The other semi-final is between the top seed and winner of the Spanish women's open amateur title, Sweden's Linnea Strom, and Spain's Celia Barquin, the No 12 qualifier.
Strom had to go to the 19th to win her quarter-final tie against France's Mathilda Cappeliez. Yesterday afternoon Strom prevailed at the 25th hole over Leonie Harm (Germany).
LATER NEWS
Monday's final will be contested be a Spain v Italy affair with Barquin and Carta winning the semi-finals.
Barquin toppled the No 1 seed Linnea Storm, beating her on the 18th green. Storm had been three holes up after seven and still two up on the 15th tee. But Barquin finished strongly and when she holed the winning putt on the 18th it was the first time she had been ahead in the match!
Much the same story in the other semi-final.
Martin was three holes up after 10 but had been pulled back to all square when she lost the 17th.

It was the first time the Italian girl had been ahead in the whole match.
