After a big win over Coco Gauff – a player who has her number – No. 7 seed Karolina Muchova couldn’t have a letdown as she now faced No. 4 seed Elina Svitolina in the Stuttgart semifinals. And she didn’t.

And after Mirra Andreeva got her first top-10 win on clay against the struggling Iga Swiatek on Friday she, too, was into the semis and faced a (likely) tired Elena Rybakina. But after a tight first set, Rybakina rolled.

In Rouen, No. 1 seed Marta Kostyuk is still cookin’ and looking for the title.

(Stuttgart and Rouen are six hours ahead of EDT)
