Karolina Pliskova has secured a spot in the final of the Nottingham Open after a hard-fought victory over Diane Parry from France. Despite losing the first set in a tie-break, Pliskova showed determination and resilience to bounce back and claim a 6-7 (9-11) 6-1 6-4 win.
The Czech Republic player, seeded sixth and 32 years old, will now await the winner between Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter for the final match. Expressing her happiness at advancing to the final, Pliskova acknowledged the challenge of playing three matches in a short span of time but remained focused on preparation and recovery for the upcoming match.
The tournament schedule has been affected by weather delays, forcing matches to be postponed and rescheduled. The semi-final match between Raducanu and Boulter was interrupted by rain, with only one set completed before play was halted. The players will resume their match on Sunday before the winner faces Pliskova in the final.
Pliskova, who defeated top seed Ons Jabeur in the quarter-finals, is aiming to secure her second Nottingham Open title after her previous win in 2016. She will need to overcome another formidable opponent if she wants to achieve this goal.
