Baptiste’s Abu Dhabi Surge
Hailey Baptiste reached her first tour-level semifinal with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 win over Liudmila Samsonova in Abu Dhabi, converting seven of ten break points.
It was her third straight three-set victory this week, following wins over Teodora Kostovic and world No. 17 Emma Navarro.
The run marks a big upswing after a quiet 2025, with Baptiste now backing up her Australian Open third round with a semifinal here.
This is her first semifinal in two years, since a WTA 125 loss to McCartney Kessler in Puerto Vallarta in early 2024.

Momentum Shifts in Alexandrova’s Favor
Ekaterina Alexandrova reached the semifinals with straight-set wins over Dayana Yastremska and Alexandra Eala, dominating both matches.

She heads into this clash with an even 11–11 career record in hard-court semifinals, with her most recent defeat at this stage on the surface coming in Doha last year.
