In the semi-finals on Thursday, Jastremska will face Russia’s Anna Kalinskaya or China’s Zheng Qinwen. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka and US Open champion Coco Gauff will compete in the other semi-final.

«It’s fun to make history. I wasn’t even born in 1978,” Jastremska said after her confident performance. “I just did my best. You can only achieve something in life by fighting.” (SDA/men)
