Gisela Dulko defeated Sandra Zahlavova 6-2, 6-3 to advance the Copa Colsanitas semifinals.

Dulko has won titles in Europe, Africa and North America and came close to adding to them in last year’s Bogota final. She’s the only semifinalist who has won on the tour.

She will next play against Angelique Kerber, who beat Pauline Parmentier of France 6-1, 6-4.

“The game was very even, I had the normal errors in this altitus (2,650 meters), but I was able to fix them. I seized the opportunity, I was aggressive on my opponent´s second serve that were was not so strong and I think that was one of the keys to winn” said Dulko after the match.

Mariana Duque Marino upset Klara Zakopalova 6-0, 7-6 and will face Arantxa Parra Santonja, who knocked out Sara Errani 7-5, 6-2, in the other semifinal.
