Thursday September 21, the 1/4 finals

Martina Trevisan ???????? vs Caroline Dolehide ???????? : 6/3 6/7 (9) 3/6

The 111th in the world found the strength to save 4 match points and, to everyone’s surprise, reached the semi-final, the first of her career, at 25 years old, on the circuit.

Leylah Fernandez ???????? vs Sofia Kenin ???????? : 4/6 7/6 1/6

For the first time since 2019, the American climbed into the final four of a WTA 1000. Having fallen to 419th place in the world in 2022, Kenin struggled, doubted and above all worked to regain her tennis and her confidence. Her success allows her to return, at a minimum, to 31st place in the WTA.

Victoria Azarenka ???????? vs Carolina Garcia ???????? : 3/6 4/6

For the first time in 14 months, the Frenchwoman climbs into the semi-finals of a WTA 1000. For the first time this year, she wins against a Top 30 player, in this case the 23rd, for the first time since 6 months, she won three consecutive matches.

So many good reasons to smile after this victory obtained by saving 11 break points against her, solid.

Emiliana Arango ???????? vs Maria Sakkari ???????? : 3/6 4/6

Disappointed after the US Open, like her future opponent, the Greek player regains color and puts an end to the sensation of the tournament.

Friday September 22, the 1/2 finals

Caroline Dolehide ???????? vs Sofia Kenin ???????? : 7/5 6/3

The dream week continues for the 111th in the world who offers her first final on the circuit and not just any final. She also becomes the 2nd lowest ranked player to reach the final of a WTA 1000, since 2009.

Trailing 4/2 in the initial round, Dolehide then found the right tactic against Kenin who increased the number of mistakes in frustration.

Carolina Garcia ???????? vs Maria Sakkari ???????? : 3/6 0/6

There was no photo between the Greek and the French in this semi-final. Already a finalist here last season, Sakkari felt “like at home” and Garcia quickly understood this.

Broken from the start of the match, she will take more and more risks and make more and more mistakes.
