Elsewhere, top seed Caroline Garcia crashed out of the competition, losing 6-3 6-3 to 19-year-old American qualifier Sofia Kenin.
“I’m very happy. She’s a great player. It was a really tough match,” Kenin said. “I knew I was playing well and I had a lot of confidence.”
She’ll meet Tatjana Maria in the final after she gotthe better of seventh seed Lucie Safarova 7-6 4-6 6-4.
