Stearns Breaks New Ground on Hard Courts
Payton Stearns battled past Oksana Selekhmeteva 6-1, 5-7, 7-5 to reach the semifinals. She nearly closed it out in straight sets before surviving a gruelling decider.
It was her second three-set win of the week after a comeback against Francesca Jones, while she defeated Kaja Juvan in straight sets.
Stearns struggled for consistency last year, with multiple main-draw wins coming only three times, mostly on clay, and a late-season slump pushing her outside the top 50.
This run puts her close to a top-50 return and marks her first hard-court tour-level semifinal. Her previous three semifinals all came on clay, winning two of them in Bogotá 2023 and Rabat 2024.
