British No. 1 Katie Boulter booked her spot within the semifinals of the Hong Kong Open on Friday with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Anastasia Zakharova.
The opening set proved the sport can be a hard-fought quarterfinal as Zakharova performed at a better commonplace than her No. 113 world rating confirmed.
Boulter, ranked No. 29 on the earth, needed to save two break factors within the first set earlier than securing the essential break within the tenth sport.
The second set, which lasted simply half-hour, was a one-sided battle with Boulter denying Zakharova the possibility to win even a single sport.
Boulter will face six seed Yuan Yue from China within the semifinal after she cruised previous Sofia Kenin 6-3, 6-3.
