Iga Swiatek continues her quest for a third consecutive Porsche Tennis Grand Prix title, as she booked her spot in the Stuttgart semifinals with another straight-sets win.
The Pole was pushed to the brink in the opening set of her quarterfinal against Emma Raducanu but managed to step up in the big moments to close out a 7-6(2), 6-3 victory.
Swiatek will now take on Rybakina, who came back to win a three-set battle, for the second time this week. The Kazakh needed around a little over two hours to fend off an inspired Jasmine Paolini.
The other semifinal will see reigning Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova take on upset artist Marta Kostyk. The Czech posted her biggest since lifting the trophy at the All England Club last July by ousting the reigning Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka.
Marta Kostyuk, meanwhile, had her own big win to show for. The Ukrainian, who had earlier saved five match points in her tournament opener, very nearly led eight match points to slip out of her hands. She, however, steadied the ship, closing out the match in the deciding-set tiebreaker.
With plenty of exciting tennis action to look forward to, here's a quick look at what's in store on Day 6 of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix:
