Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina produced another upset by beating second seed Karolina Pliskova 7-6 6-3 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Thursday to move into the semi-finals.
Having kocked out Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in the first round, the 20-year-old Rybakina struck 33 winners and 11 aces to oust Pliskova for the first top-five win of her career."I didn't really think if she's number two three, doesn't really matter for me," Rybakina said."I always try to do my best.
Pliskova said she"didn't do that much wrong" on the day but Rybakina was on point, winning 80per cent of her first serve points and firing powerful winners past her Czech opponent.
