BIRMINGHAM: Former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep booked her place in the semi-finals of the WTA Birmingham grass-court event with a straight sets win over Britain's Katie Boulter on Friday (Jun 17).
The Australian, who also reached the final four last weekend in Stuttgart, treated the crowd to an assortment of 'tweeners', behind-the-leg flick returns and an underarm serve to baffle his Spanish opponent in 69 minutes. Kyrgios hit 13 aces and broke three times as he gained momentum on grass as a serious Wimbledon outside threat. Kyrgios said he played a standout match against Carreno Busta in their first meeting since 2016.

Nick Kyrgios was ever the entertainer as he sailed into the semi-finals of ATP Halle with a straight-sets win over Pablo Carreno Busta.

Ad/> When his next chance came to put himself ahead in the tie, the Australian took it emphatically.
A little over a month after his heroic win over Gemke in the decisive fifth rubber against Denmark which ensured India's entry into the Thomas Cup final, Prannoy produced yet another finely-crafted performance to outwit the Danish world number 13 21-14 21-12 in a 40-minute quarter-final clash. It is the second semifinal appearance for world number 23 Prannoy at the Indonesia event. He had reached the last four in the 2017 edition during which he had stunned former Olympic gold medallist Chen Long and Malaysian great Lee Chong Wei on way to the semifinals.
Coco Gauff was in impressive form as she saw off former world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova for a place in the semi-finals at the Berlin Grass Court Championship. Gauff, just 18 years old, was far livelier than her 30-year-old opponent and showed a steel beyond her years to fight from a break down in the second set to win the match.
The team line-ups and match officials for this weekend's Currie Cup semi-finals have been confirmed:
Nick Kyrgios has talked up his chances on grass, saying he thinks he is a “top five or top 10” player on the surface. Kyrgios, who is currently ranked No. 65 in the ATP rankings, reached the semi-finals of the Stuttgart Open on grass last week.
