Keys Finds Form With Comeback
Madison Keys defeated Belinda Bencic 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to reach the semifinal in Charleston. She fired eight aces and saved nine of 12 break points.
This is her fourth semifinal appearance in Charleston and her first since winning the title in 2019. She also reached the final in 2015, with her only semifinal loss here coming against Kiki Bertens in 2018.
The American needed a run like this to rebuild confidence after dropping significant ranking points during the Australian swing and missing the Middle East events due to injury.
This marks just her second semifinal in the last 12 months. Since the start of 2024, she has played seven tour-level semifinals, winning three and losing four.

Starodubtseva Shows Control In Victory
Yuliia Starodubtseva defeated McCartney Kessler 6-4, 6-4 to reach the semifinal. Despite being broken twice, she remained in control throughout the match.
Her path to the semifinals has been relatively smooth, facing four opponents ranked outside the top 50, all of whom were struggling for form.
The Ukrainian had a difficult start to the season, winning just one main-draw match in her first eight events. She turned things around in the Miami Open, where she won four matches as a qualifier to reach the third round.
This is her maiden tour-level semifinal. She holds a 6-1 record in ITF semifinals, though all of those wins came at W60 or lower-level events.
