She's through to the semifinals after battling for more than two-an-a-half hours with British world number 68 Sonay Kartel to claim a 6-4 6-7 7-6 victory. She’ll face third seed Eva Jovic tonight, while Alexandra Eala takes on China’s Wang Xinyu in the other semifinal. Sky Sport Tennis Analyst Sebastian Lavie told Piney Svitolina isn’t number 13 in the world for nothing.
