Wimbledon 2018: Kerber and Ostapenko Reach Women’s Semifinals

WIMBLEDON, England — Angelique Kerber reached her third Wimbledon semifinal after converting her seventh match point to beat Daria Kasatkina, 6-3, 7-5, on Tuesday, setting up a meeting with the former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko.

Ostapenko became the first Latvian woman to make the last four at the All England Club with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Dominika Cibulkova on a windy No. 1 Court.

Kerber is the former No. 1 and two-time major champion and was the runner-up at Wimbledon two years ago. She took advantage of Kasatkina’s erratic serving and many errors to return to the last four.
