[ad_1]
Diane Parry is in the semi-finals of a tournament on the main circuit for the first time. The 19-year-old Frenchwoman succeeded in Granby (Canada) on Thursday after winning the third set tie-break (6-4, 6-7 [6]7-6 [4]) against the German Tatjana Maria (92nd), recent Wimbledon semi-finalist.
Loïc Courteau’s protege rebounded in the third set after missing three match points – two at 6-5, one in the tiebreak – in the second.
The 81st in the world, who qualified this year for the half of a WTA 125 (the equivalent of a Challenger) on grass in Gaita (Spain), will be opposed to Daria Kasatkina (10th), seeded n° 1 of the tournament, or Nuria Parrizas-Diaz (64th).
In the first round of the US Open, which begins on Monday, Parry will face Chinese Wang Qiang (103rd).
