Trevisan into first Grand Slam semis at French Open
Wednesday, 1 June 2022
PARIS, May 31 (AFP): Italy's Martina Trevisan reached her first Grand Slam semi-final on Tuesday with victory over Canada's Leylah Fernandez at the French Open
World number 59 Trevisan downed the 17th seeded Canadian, a fellow left-hander, 6-2, 6-7 (3/7), 6-3.
The 28-year-old will face either Coco Gauff or Sloane Stephens for a place in the final. Trevisan was a shock quarter-finalist at Roland Garros as a qualifier in 2020.
Despite her lowly ranking this year, she returned to the tournament with a maiden WTA title under her belt in Rabat and went into Tuesday's tie on a nine-match winning streak.
