von · 30. Mai 2024

All the remaining top seeded players of the ladies Mozart Open PSA world ranking tournament in Salzburg made it into the semfinal. All of them even with 3/0 victories. It means they will have the opportunity to play their semifinal matches on the glasscourt at EUROPARK Salzburg shopping mall on Friday evening. It will be Britain against Czech Republic.

The closest match was between second seed Alison Thomson (SCO, WRL 82) and Ambre Allinckx (SUI, WRL 130). The Swiss and former world number 68 Ambre was able to push her opponent in the first two games but lost both of them closely in the tie-break and was not able to turn the match after that.

Topseed Saran Nghiem (ENG, WRL 66) and fourth seed Kiera Marshall (ENG, WRL 89) showed a solid performance and didnt let their opponents get too close to them and won 3/0.

Michaela Cepová (CZE, WRL 205) will be the lowest seeded player (9/16) in the semifinal after winning the all-czech match against Karolína Šrámková (CZE, WRL 161). She proved to be in good shape after already beating third seed Jacqueline Peychär (AUT, WRL 91) yesterday. She completed the 3/0-victories-series of the day.
