If you take the appearances of Belinda Bencic and Alizé Cornet in the quarter-finals of the WTA Tour 500 tournament in Berlin as a yardstick, then the match in the semifinals of the two left a little to be desired in terms of drama. Both Bencic against Ekaterina Alexandrova and Cornet against Garbine Muguruza only won in the tie-break of the third set. The Swiss Bencic certainly benefited from the fact that she only needed two sets in the semi-finals with a 7: 5 and 6: 4. The 24-year-old is now playing for her fifth career title on Sunday, the last so far was in Moscow in 2019.
In the final, Bencic either meets the surprise girl Ludmilla Samsonova. Or the two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka, who threw the two local heroes out of the competition with Andrea Petkovic and Angelique Kerber during the tournament at LTTC Rot-Weiß Berlin.
