Seventh-seeded Maria Sakkari of Greece fought off four match points in the second set before rallying to stun top-seeded Elina Svitolina of Ukraine 1-6, 7-6 , 6-3 on Friday and reach the semifinals at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose, Calif.
The 24-year-old escaped another match point on her own serve, held to make it 5-5, then broke Svitolina at love. Svitolina promptly broke back at love to force a tiebreaker, but Sakkari won the final four points of the tiebreaker to take the set. Meanwhile, second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus rallied to top sixth-seeded Spaniard Carla Suarez Navarro 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. Sabalenka overcame nine double faults in victory.
