Well two unseeded and two seeds into semifinals. Guaranteed to have an unseeded in the final.
At least we're better than Dubai:clap

Quite right but it just show us that the competition has been rising over the past year. Noone can feel sure to win against people inside top 100 - well even beyond.

What a dream run Ostapenko from Latvia has had this week. Until now she's gone from #88 in the rankings to #41 and on the racelist she is #11. A pity for Petkovic who was leading 52 in the first set when her problems started in her leg:

was treated afterwards but had to retire after losing her first game in set 2.

Big congrats to the 18 year old Jelena Ostapenko.

So final tomorrow between:

Jelena Ostapenko (LAT) vs [8] Carla Suárez Navarro (ESP) still a seed among us :clap

PS. And Caroline will remain on her #22 place because Petkovic lost - Thank you Petko.

Congrats to Carla. New career high of number 6. Can it be she is developing some mental toughness?
