The ÖTV ace is challenging a 15-year-old in the generational duel in Great Britain.
After the strong performances for Austria’s women’s national team in Europe/Africa Group I of the Billie Jean King Cup in Oeiras, with three wins in three individual matches, Tamira Paszek is again showing her best side at tournament level. The 33-year-old has reached her third semi-final of the season at the ITF W35 hard court event in Nottingham after three successes. The Vorarlberg native (WTA 336) eliminated Katherina Barnes (WTA 1242) one after the other with 6:2, 6:3, then with a 6:4, 6:7 (3), 6:2 against Sophie Drakeford-Lewis after 0: 2 down in the third set the next British qualifier. And finally, in the quarterfinals on Friday, sixth seeded American Jessica Failla (WTA 488) won 6:3, 6:1. For a place in the final, the number four seed will now face the 15-year-old local wildcard player Mika Stojsavljevic (WTA 874) on Saturday.
