The previous year’s winner of the junior Roland Garros, Nosková, who plays the role of the seeded four at the tournament, dominated the duel against the 82nd player in the world, Schmiedlová, in 55 minutes. A year ago, she lost in the semi-finals to eventual winner Maria Bouzková. Her peak on the WTA circuit is this year’s final in Adelaide.
Nosková let her Thursday performance with Ankita Raina from India be forgotten, whom she only defeated thanks to a reversal in three sets. She got off to an excellent start against the 28-year-old Schmiedl and gave her the “canary” in 23 minutes of the game. In the second set, the Slovak played only two games. The Czech took her serve six times and took advantage of the first match point.
Tereza Martincová did not have her day today. In the quarterfinals, she easily lost to Japan’s HibinováVideo: Sport.cz
The 28-year-old Martincová fought against Hibinová and right from the start it was clear who had the upper hand. The Japanese woman took Martincová’s first serve and in 32 minutes comfortably won the first set 6:1. The second set took place in a similar spirit, when Hibinová was able to break the home player three times.
The result is quite brutal, but the opponent played incredibly. In addition, Tereza Martincová was thrown by the surface in StromovceVideo: Sport.cz
Thiem saved Djere five match points in Kitzbühel and is in the final after three years
Domestic tennis player Dominic Thiem saved five match points in the semi-finals of the tournament in Kitzbühel. On the clay there, he prevented the Serbian Lasl Djere from advancing and will play for the title for the first time since the Tournament of Champions in 2020. The twenty-nine-year-old Austrian won 6:7, 7:5 and 7:6 after three and a half hours. He can win the trophy for the eighteenth time on the ATP circuit.
Former world No. 3 Thiem will face Argentine Sebastián Báez in Saturday’s final. He eliminated the number one seed and compatriot Tomás Martín Etcheverry after another three-set battle 7:6, 3:6 and 6:4.
