Barbora Krejčíková is enjoying a great season. In Cincinnati, on her way to the quarterfinals, she gradually sent home Russia Kasatkin, Ukraine Jastrem and lastly two-time Grand Slam champion Spaniard Muguruza. But Ashleigh Bartyová is the world number one and the Czech Republic ran into her in a duel when she lost the first set 2: 6.

In the second set, it seemed that the Czech tennis player found a recipe for world number one and led 4: 2, but then came a short circuit. Barty stopped making mistakes and dominated the next four games, which meant a final victory and advancement to the semifinals. The Australian woman also won her second match this year.

Krejčíková finished in Cincinnati together with Kateřina Siniaková in doubles. The Olympic winners from Tokyo lost in the semifinals to the Canadian-Brazilian pair Gabriela Dabrowská, Luisa Stefani 5: 7, 6: 3, 7:10.

Kvitová also ends

A tough opponent in the form of former world number one and three-time grand slam champion Angelique Kerberová was also waiting for Petra Kvitová. The Czech tennis player did not lose a hundred in the match with Keberová at the tournament, when she eliminated the American Keys, the Russian Kuděrmetová and the Tunisian Jabeur. Her opponent, the current 22nd player in the world, then crossed the Greek Sakkari, Ukraine Svitolin and Latvia Ostapenko.

Kvitová was not enough for Kerberová in the first set and lost 4: 6. In the second, the Czech player was already leading 3: 0, but then she suffered from stomach and intestinal problems and after three more games, which the German won, she gave up the match. “I tried to endure as long as I could. I’ve been struggling with stomach problems for several days now, and today I just couldn’t finish the match until the end,” Kvitová said on Twitter.

Plíšková broke the curse. Krejčíková and Kvitová are also in the quarterfinals. Muchová gave up the battle with Bencicová

On Saturday morning, the Czech number one Karolína Plíšková also took part in her duel, facing the 29th player of the world, the Spaniard Paula Badosaová. However, she defeated her 7: 5 in the first set, and in the second, Spain gave up the match for her 2-0.

She was the only Czech to make it to the semifinals, in which she will face Switzerland Jil Teichmann for the first time in her career. The 24-year-old Swiss beat Belinda Benčičová 6: 3 and 6: 2.
