Sara Bejlek Stuns Keys to Enter the Final Four
Sara Bejlek moved into the semifinal in Cincinnati after defeating Madison Keys from a set down, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6. She trailed by a set and a break at one stage before fighting back to complete another impressive comeback.
The 20-year-old has now defetaed four WTA 1000 Champions during her run to the semifinals rhis week. Before this week, she had never registered multiple wins at a WTA 1000 hard-court event in her career.
She enjoyed a breakthrough earlier this year in Abu Dhabi by winning her maiden tour-level title, which helped her make her Top 50 debut. However, fitness issues halted her progress and she struggled significantly until the end of the grass season.
She has raised her level in recent weeks, reaching the quarterfinals in Athens and Prague. This is the second semifinal of her career, and with this run, she will make her Top 30 debut next week.
