Ruse Advances With Dominant Performance
Elena-Gabriela Ruse moved into the Bad Homburg semifinals after defeating Emma Navarro 6-4, 6-2. The Romanian did not face a single break point and converted three of the five break points she created during the match.
The result comes after she was unable to defend her runner-up points in 's-Hertogenbosch last week, where she lost to Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals.
Ruse has now won seven of her last eight matches on grass, a significant improvement after an inconsistent start to the season. Before the grass swing, she had recorded multiple main-draw wins at only two of her first 12 tournaments this year.
She holds a 4-2 record in tour-level semifinals. Both of her defeats at this stage have come against top-20 opponents.
