Veronika Kudermetova needed 25 attempts, now the Russian is finally allowed to serve in the semifinals of a WTA Tour 1000 event for the first time. Kudermetova defeated last year’s finalist Jessica Pegula in Madrid 6: 4, 0: 6 and 6: 4. Her opponent will be determined tonight in the match between Iga Swiatek and Petra Martic.
Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Sakkari had already qualified for the semi-finals yesterday. Sabalenka won against Mayar Sherif in three sets, as did Sakkari against Romanian Irina Camelia Begu.
