“It was a tough night for me to lead 6: 4, 2: 1 and then the match will be interrupted,” said Jule Niemeier after beating US Open quarter-finalist Rogers: “I’m just very happy now.”
In the semifinals on Friday, Niemeier will face number five seeded Czech Barbora Krejcikova.
In the first round, Niemeier had eliminated the French Diane Parry (6: 4, 6: 3) and celebrated her first victory ever in the main draw of a WTA tournament.
In the world rankings she has already improved from position 216 to 170 thanks to her participation in the semi-finals.
