Pliskova Extends Impressive Nottingham Record
Karolina Pliskova moved into the semifinals after defeating Talia Gibson in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. She dropped serve once and converted all three break points she created to close out the match.
This is her third consecutive semifinal appearance in Nottingham. She reached this stage in both of her previous visits and converted both runs into finals, winning the title in 2016 and finishing runner-up in 2024. Notably, that last Nottingham campaign was also the most recent semifinal she reached on tour before this week.
With this victory, Pliskova snapped a three-match losing streak in quarterfinals. Earlier this season, she fell at this stage in Linz, Madrid and Queen's Club despite having opportunities to progress further.
The Czech owns a perfect 6-0 record in grass-court semifinals, highlighting her impressive ability to raise her level during the latter stages of tournaments on this surface.

Bouzkova Achieves Career-Best Grass Result
Marie Bouzkova secured her place in the semifinals after defeating Tatjana Maria in straight sets, 7-5, 6-0. She squandered a 4-0 lead in the opening set but responded impressively, winning the next nine games in a row to take complete control of the match.
This is the best grass-court result of her career. Bouzkova had previously reached two quarterfinals on the surface, at Birmingham in 2021 and Wimbledon in 2022, but both runs ended at that stage.
The Czech struggled for consistency during the early part of the season and failed to win multiple matches at any tournament until March. However, her level improved significantly during the clay swing, highlighted by the title in Bogota, a quarterfinal run in Strasbourg and a third-round appearance at Roland Garros.
Bouzkova owns a 9-5 record in tour-level semifinals. Two of those victories came against fellow Czech players, and she will be hoping to add another semifinal win to her record this week.
