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.

2009 US Open: Kateryna Bondarenko beat Gisela Dulko in 4th round
Kateryna Bondarenko reached the quarterfinal of the US Open after crushing Gisela Dulko 6-0, 6-0.
Late arrivals on Arthur Ashe would have missed the Ukrainian’s 47-minute breeze against an error-strewn opponent who knocked out her seeded older sister Alona in round two.
“I just got some messages to do the revenge for my sister, so I start to think about it when I read the messages,” Bondarenko told reporters.
“I’m surprised that it’s 6-0, 6-0, and I’m really happy that it went that way.”
With no seeds left in the top quarter of the draw, Bondarenko has a golden chance to reach the semifinals of what has been an unpredictable tournament.
She faces a last eight test against Petra Kvitova or Yanina Wickmayer.
