–

The last two quarterfinals went Wednesday, with No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka facing No. 9 Jelena Ostapenko, and No. 13 Danielle Collins taking on No. 24 Victoria Azarenka.

Both favorites won, and will meet in Thursday’s semifinals

Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe, playing with Coco Gauff this week, looked for a semifinal spot as the Can-Am pair faces Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, a pick-up team each with their own doubles gravitas. And they also got through.

In Paris, where Tuesday was a washout, Simona Halep finally did play her first-round match. But she retired in the second set with the same knee pain she had in Miami, in her only other match since returning from her doping suspension.
