Gisela Dulko reaches semifinals in Bogota
Gisela Dulko reaches semifinals in Bogota
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.

Gisela Dulko se impuso a Edina Gallovits 62 75 y paso a cuartos de final del torneo Abierto de Bogotá donde enfrentara a Sandra Zahlavova.
De gran primer set, y con algunas fisuras en el segundo parcial, en el que estuvo 1-4, la argentina necesitó de una hora y 19 minutos de juego para avanzar a la siguiente instancia en el torneo que la tuvo como finalista hace justo un año.
“Jugar en Bogotá te obliga a estar concentrada todo el tiempo y hoy alcancé a desconcentrarme cinco minutos y por eso estuve abajo en el marcador. No fue fácil y más aquí, con la altura. Pero al final lo pude sacar adelante sin irme al tie-break”, señaló.
“Afortunadamente, por experiencia, sé que si acá ponés presión con tus golpes, les podés hacer mucho daño a tus rivales y eso hice, porque traté de apoyarme mucho en mi saque y en mi derecha”, agregó la argentina.
Lo llamativo es que en el 2009, en su camino a la final de Bogotá, Dulko derrotó a la francesa Mathilde Johansson, a la que esta vez superó en el debut. Y luego venció a Gallovits en semifinales, la que fue su víctima ahora en los octavos de final, siempre en dos sets.
Zahlavova se impuso en octavos por un doble 6-2 a su compatriota Petra Cetkovska.

WTA Copa Colsanitas Bogota Preview
The Latin American swing kicks off this week with the XVIII Copa BBVA Colsanitas, and headlining the draw is the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour’s No.1 South American player, Gisela Dulko.
Dulko, currently ranked No.35 in the world, has enjoyed a solid start to 2010, most notably upsetting Ana Ivanovic en route to the third round of the Australian Open. She has also done nicely at this tournament in the past, her 7-3 record including a run to the finals here last year (where she was a runner-up to María José Martínez Sánchez). The No.1 seed this year, she will take on France’s Mathilde Johansson in her first round match.
The only other South American currently in the Top 100 is No.99 Rossana de los Ríos of Paraguay (who is also here but unseeded).
Spanish rising star Carla Suárez Navarro is the No.2 seed. Suárez Navarro, who in her green career has already been to two major quarterfinals – the 2008 French Open and the 2009 Australian Open – opens against a qualifier.
Check out the draws from Dubai, Memphis and Bogotá right now!
Rounding out the seeds are Sara Errani, Polona Hercog, Angelique Kerber, Sandra Zahlavova, Klara Zakopalova and Arantxa Parra Santonja.
