HTH
This will be their first meeting.
Krueger Back on Track With Big Run
Ashlyn Krueger advanced to the semifinals with a 7-6, 6-4 win over Yuan Yue. She saved three of four break points and converted two of six chances in a tight contest.
It is a much-needed run for Krueger, who had managed only one main-draw win this year and had not strung together multiple tour-level victories since Miami last season.
Her dip in form saw her ranking slide from inside the top 30 to outside the top 100, making this resurgence particularly significant.
Krueger has played two tour-level semifinals before and won both in straight sets, in Osaka 2023 and Abu Dhabi 2025.

Townsend’s Long-Awaited Breakthrough
Taylor Townsend rallied past Rebecca Masarova 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 to reach the semifinals, recovering after letting a 5-2 lead slip in the first set.
She had ended 2025 early with an ankle injury and played only one event in 2026 before this week, losing in the Australian Open opener.
Townsend has traditionally thrived in this region, highlighted by last year’s fourth round at the US Open and strong runs in Miami, Cincinnati, and Washington.
This is her first tour-level semifinal, a breakthrough after two previous quarterfinal losses and a timely boost ahead of bigger events.
