Krejcikova, the reigning French Open winner, got off to a bad start against Anett Kontaveit, losing the first set 0: 6. After that, however, the Czech caught herself and equalized the set with a 6: 4. The tie-break in the decision turned into a real thriller. The Krejcikova won with 14:12.

Badosa, who surprisingly won the tournament In Indian Wells in autumn 2021 and qualified late for the WTA Finals, did not stay long with Daria Kasatkina. And that despite the fact that the Russian showed rising form on the day of the quarter-finals with her success against Garbine Muguruza. Badosa was not impressed, won 6-2 and 6-2.
