Olivia Gadecki continued her impressive run in Mexico on Friday by advancing to the Guadalajara Open semifinals after beating Martina Trevisan 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.
The 22-year-old Australian qualifier, who is ranked 152nd, converted eight of 10 break-point chances to beat Trevisan, who was a Roland Garros semifinalist in 2022, and reach a WTA semifinal for the first time, The Associated Press reported.
Gadecki arrived in Mexico with just two wins over top-100 players but she has recorded three this week, including a second-round win over world No. 11 Danielle Collins.
“There’s a lot of things I’m proud of this week,” Gadecki said.
In the semifinals, Gadecki will play Camila Osorio, who defeated Kamilla Rakhimova, 7-6 (6), 6-1.
In the other semifinal, fourth-seeded Caroline Garcia will face fifth-seeded Magdalena Frech, who advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Marina Stakusic.
Garcia advanced earlier in a walkover after Marie Bouzkova withdrew due to an illness.
The tournament is being played on hard courts at the Complejo Panamericano de Tenis in Guadalajara.

Real Madrid remains with the Spanish league's highest spending limit following the summer transfer window, while Barcelona improved significantly but remained well below its rival's cap, The Associated Press reported.
The league released the cost limits for each team on Thursday, with Madrid's cap reaching nearly 755 million euros ($833 million), up from 727 million euros ($803 million).
Barcelona's limit more than doubled from 204 million euros ($225 million) after the winter transfer market to 426 million euros ($470 million), but the Catalan club could still be in a delicate situation going into the next transfer window if it doesn't make moves to improve its finances.
Atletico Madrid is the Spanish club with the third-highest spending limit at 310 million euros ($342 million), up from 303 million euros ($334 million).
Sevilla was among the teams struggling the most, with its limit being reduced from more than 150 million euros ($165 million) to only 2.5 million euros ($2.7 million).
The cost limit represents the maximum amount each club can spend on players, coaches and other staff. It also includes spending on reserves, the youth system and other areas.
Each Spanish league club has a different spending limit based on factors such as revenues, costs and debts. It is proportional to roughly 70% of a club’s revenues. Clubs that are overspending need to find ways to either reduce costs or attract new investment.
