In the first set, Cornet served for the set at 5-4, then got a set point at 6-5 in the tie-break. But, embarrassed by pain in the back of the left thigh, the Frenchwoman was unable to realize these advantages. She even fell heavily on her right knee while trying to catch a ball.
In the second set, Ostapenko accelerated his game, committing fewer faults, facing a physically diminished Cornet who could not follow. The French player was broken at 1-1 then 4-2. In the semi-finals, Jelena Ostapenko will face the Swiss Belinda Bencic, seeded n ° 1, or the Russian Liudmila Samsonova.
