Maria Sakkari vs Alina Korneeva prediction
Maria Sakkari is one step away from a final on home soil after sweeping aside Alycia Parks.
The Greek fourth seed was too strong as she claimed a 6-4 6-3 win over the American.
The world number 37 will now meet world number 90 Alina Korneeva after the 19-year-old took down seventh seed Tereza Valentova by a 7-5 6-3 scoreline.
This is a tricky call given how fearless Korneeva has been this week, following up the crushing win over Ann Li with a composed showing against Valentova.
Sakkari will be well aware of the threat but will be motivated to again make her mark in front of her home fans and that may well be what carries her through.
