On the other side of the draw, American Emma Navarro has also reached the semifinals, where she will compete against the second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.

In the men’s singles, top-ranked Jannik Sinner of Italy has advanced to the semifinals. Sinner showcased his formidable skills by defeating Daniil Medvedev with a scoreline of 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 6-4. Sinner has already made headlines by overcoming other top players, including Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz. In the semifinals, he will face Jack Draper of Great Britain. Sinner’s continued strong performance has made him a formidable contender for the title as the tournament progresses.
