Spanish Paula Badosa, third favorite, could not be on Thursday with Russian Liudmila Samsonova, the eighth leader of the series, beating its 6-4, 3-6 and 6-4 and taking the opportunity to access the Strasbourg Tournament (France) semifinals.

Badosa, impatient and uncontrolled his strength, surrendered after two hours and 24 minutes of meeting, before a rival, even though he was not on his best day, managed to surpass.

After disappearing the first set, where he could not link more than two consecutive games, Gerundense took his best cards to have an aggressive game to pick up the second manga.

Badosa, who has decided not to play each other’s open with Madrid or the 1000 Masters of Rome because of his back problems, has not competed since the Miami tournament, which played in March.

Samsonova will see the second time with the faces with American tennis player Danielle Collins (N.46 WTA), who got the semifinal after the Russian Anna Kalinskaya did not appear at the party.

For part of it, Kazaja Elena Rybakina, fourth favorite, and Brazilian Beatriz Haddad Maia, the ninth leader of the series, will star in the second semifinal.
