Pliskova advances to Cincinnati semifinal following Badosa's retirement
WTASaturday, 21 August 2021 at 05:22
Karolina Pliskova moved on to the semifinals at the Western & Southern Open on Friday night, after Paula Badosa was forced to retire in the second set due to injury.
Pliskova advanced after a 7-5 2-0[RET] victory, in a match that was cut short after 74 minutes. Despite following into a 0-4 hole in the first set, the Czech star reeled off five consecutive games before eventually claiming the first set.
The second set saw the fifth seed race to a 2-0 lead, before Badosa decided to call it quits due to an undisclosed injury. The World No.4 will face the unseeded Jil Teichmann in a semifinal clash on Saturday, as the 24-year old Swiss upset compatriot Belinda Bencic in straight sets earlier in the evening.

- No surprise really. When things go wrong, you start to see the real Djokovic. He has.a history of throwing tantrums, swearing, destroying rackets, comimg up with excuses and, and, and...... I honestly find it difficult to like or respect this guy.GustafC15-04-2024
- Not only did he Lose... he has shown yet again he is a Loser. If his behavior is a surprise to anyone, then you have a poor ability to assess a person's true being. Or do not wish to see it. A hint may have been when anti-Vax Boy contracted Covid, yet knowingly exposed kids & adults while taking selfies and promo photos with small crowds during at least two publicity functions. That's not the actions of someone who is at all concerned about others! No matter who it may be, famous or not, sooner or later their true identity shines through the façade.
