The match was postponed from Friday due to rain.
Meanwhile, Petra Kvitová had a successful match against world number four Carolina Garcia and advanced to the semifinals. Kvitová defeated Garcia in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), in just over an hour of play.
Both Krejčíková’s and Vondroušová’s matches were originally scheduled for Friday but were postponed due to bad weather. The organizers had to make changes to the schedule, and the matches will now take place on Saturday morning. The semifinals are also expected to take place on the same day.
