Barty beats Krejcikova to reach WTA Cincinnati semi-finals
CINCINNATI (AFP) - Ashleigh Barty recovered from a break down in the second set to sweep past Barbora Krejcikova 6-2, 6-4 on Friday to reach the WTA and ATP Cincinnati semi-finals.
The Australian top seed handed her Czech opponent only a third loss since mid-May in the battle of Grand Slam champions.
Krejicikova won Roland Garros in June while Barty claimed the Paris title in 2019 and Wimbledon this season.
