Gauff had come into the peloton as Lucky Loser and had also benefited from Kateryna Kozlova's task in the second round. Against Bertens, who is still playing for a place at the WTA Finals in Shenzhen, the US teenager showed nervousness. First in the tie-break of the first set, then also towards the end of the match, when it was a matter of getting the win under wraps. After 97 minutes of play, Gauff went 7: 6 (1) and 6: 4 as the winner of the court.
Andrea Petkovic, an experienced player, is waiting in the semi-finals on Saturday. The German won against Viktoria Kuzmova with 6: 4 and 6: 1.
