World number 10 Ivanovic, seeded third in the $1 million event, was down 5-3 in the opening set but went on to win 10 of the next 13 games to seal her victory against her eighth ranked German opponent.
"In the beginning it really took me some time to adjust to her game. It wasn't like my previous matches," Ivanovic said.
"But once I adjusted and got more aggressive it started to go my way, and I'm really happy with the win today because she's always such a tough and challenging opponent."
The win boosts the former world number one's bid to qualify for the season-ending WTA Finals in Singapore as it did for her opponent in Sunday's final.
Ivanovic is currently number eight in the race for Singapore, ahead of Wozniacki, and both are leading contenders for a spot in the five places left for the event.
Ana will play for the title against Caroline Wozniacki, who defeated Muguruza 6-4 2-6 6-2. They will play tomorrow on Center Court 1st match start at 12:00 pm local time.
