Dayana Yastremska and Belinda Bencic are going to play the semifinal in Luxembourg.
Dayana Yastremska
Ranked no.66, Dayana is having an incredible run. She has won the last 8 matches to conquer the title in Hong Kong, and she is now in the semifinals in Luxembourg. In a couple of weeks, the 18-year-old went from being involved “almost” only in qualifying matches (at WTA level) to a be a top100 player.
In Luxembourg, Dayana defeated Varvara Lepchenko 6-2 6-7 (10) 7-6 (5), Garbine Muguruza 6-2 6-3, and Margarita Gasparyan 6-1 6-4.
Belinda Bencic
Ranked no.47, Belinda is finding her way back after her wrist operation. The Swiss is having a superlative run in Luxembourg where she has won already 6 matches coming from the qualifications and dropping just 1 set on the way.
H2H Dayana Yastremska vs. Belinda Bencic
Dayana and Belinda have played each other only once at WTA level. The head to head is 1-0 for the Ukrainian that has recently defeated Bencic in the qualifications in New Haven 7-5 6 (5) 7-6 (3).
The favorite
Difficult to point at a favorite. However, the Ukranian looks completely spent after playing so many matches in 2 weeks. For this reason, Belinda Bencic should be considered as the favorite to reach the final.
When are they going to play?
They are scheduled to play as the second semifinal after Julia Goerges and Genie Bouchard (5 pm). They are expected to start their match at around 7.30 pm.
