Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

At the moment, Pavlyuchenkva is ranked 32nd in the WTA rankings. She didn't start the current season in the best way, but on the ground she is pleasantly surprised: first she reached the semifinals at the WTA-1000 tournament in Madrid, and now she has reached this stage at Roland Garros. I started with easy wins over McHale and Tomljanovic, and then there were three difficult wins in three games, but the opponents were also strong: Sobolenko, Azarenka and Rybakina. The match of the 1/4 final against Elena Rybakina lasted 2.5 hours, and was held in an equal and interesting fight, and in the end Nastya looked a little better: 6-7, 6-2, 9-7.

Tamara Zidansek

Zidansek is ranked 85th in the WTA rankings, but after such success at Roland Garros, she will significantly improve her position. The "fabulous" path through the tournament grid began with her sensational victory over the 7th racket of the world-Andreescu. The match lasted almost 3.5 hours: 6-7, 7-6, 9-7. In the 2nd round, the Slovenian easily beat Breng, and then won a strong-willed victory over Sinyakova, losing the first set with a score of 0-6. In the 4th round, Tamara confidently dealt with Kirstya (7-6, 6-1), giving one game on her serve, and in the 1/4 final held another "marathon match" against Bados: 7-5, 4-6, 8-6.

Personal meeting statistics

The girls will meet for the first time.

Interesting facts:

• Nastya and Tamara will play in the semifinals of the TBSH for the first time in their careers.
• Zidansek is the first female tennis player from Slovenia to reach the semifinals of the TBSH.
• Nastya won 9 matches out of the last 10.

Forecast from LiveResult.ru

Both girls played exhausting matches of the 1/4 finals, so in the face-to-face meeting, a lot will depend on the physical condition. Zidansek, of course, no one expected to see in the semifinals of the TBSH, but perseverance and hard work in every match helped her to enter the history of Slovenian tennis. However, it seems to us that the "fairy tale" for Tamara will end here: Pavlyuchenkova has more experience, she is stronger, and on the way to the semifinals, her opponents were much more serious than the Slovenian. If Nastya plays her tennis, and does not worry too much, then she will win a confident two games.
