Adina will meet ZHANG Xuan Xu of Spain in the semi final.

“We met for a first time but I did not have any problem to deal with her famous tricky service game. I had an answer to it. I started very well with 2:0 in an easy way but then I suffered from lack of focus in the third game so I lost next two sets. I recovered luckily to finish the match in six games ” said LOYEN.
