Maria reached her only WTA final of the current season last April when she won the title in Bogota. With her entry into the semi-finals in Seoul, Maria will rise to the top-ranked German in the coming world rankings. Former world number one Angelique Kerber (Kiel) and Wimbledon quarter-finalist Jule Niemeier (Dortmund) fall behind the current number 80.
