Roundup: Andreeva, Bartunkova to meet in China Open women's singles semis

Beijing, Oct 9 (UNI) Mirra Andreeva claimed victory in an all-Russian clash against Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3), while the Czech Republic's Nikola Bartunkova upset her compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-3, 6-0 in the women's singles quarterfinals of the China Open.
For both Russian players, there were highlights in returns as well as fluctuations in mentality during the match. They fought to tiebreaks in both sets, and Andreeva, 19, was the one who scored decisive points to secure a semifinal berth. It also marked the teenager's first win over the 31-year-old Alexandrova in her career.
"At one point I felt like she [Alexandrova] started playing better. Maybe I did [Alexandrova] couple of mistakes here and there. I just felt like the game was slipping away from me slowly. I really want to close it out, but I can't. It keeps going away from me further and further. I'm just happy that I was able to stay calm and win the match with two tiebreaks," reflected Andreeva.
