For Viktorija Golubic (WTA 150) and Céline Naef (WTA 202), the quarterfinals at the WTA lawn tournaments in Nottingham and ‘s-Hertogenbosch meant the end of the line. Golubic lost to British qualifier Heather Watson (WTA 195) 6:7 (2:7), 5:7, Naef lost to top seeded Russian Veronika Kudermetowa (WTA 14) 3:6, 2:6.
Golubic missed a good chance to reach the semi-finals for the second time at this level on grass. The only time she’d managed it was a year ago in… Nottingham. At that time, she also met Watson in the second round, whom she defeated 7-5, 6-2. This time she took 2:5 in the first set before she had no chance in the tiebreak. In the second round there was only one break ball, with which the Briton made it 6:5.
The only 17-year-old Naef managed to break Kudermetowa immediately after the 0:2, but then gave up her serve again, after which she could no longer react. After 76 minutes she had to congratulate her opponent on the victory.
Despite the failure, both Swiss women can be satisfied. Golubic had won just one main draw match on the WTA tour earlier this year. For Naef it was the first tournament ever at this level. In the first game she defeated none other than Venus Williams, the seven-time winner of Grand Slam tournaments. In the world ranking, Naef improves to 165th place, Golubic rises 14 places.
