Following the first set, Cibulkova's energy appeared to wane in the second, allowing Hingis to dominate and secure a 6:0 win, claiming her spot in Sunday's final.
Germany's Andrea Petkovic faced Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens in the second semifinal. Both players fought hard in a highly entertaining match for the spectators at the Coque, but it was Flipkens who took the first set 6:4, setting the stage for her advancement.
The second set of the match between Petkovic and Flipkens was equally thrilling, with both players refusing to give anything away. At 4:3, Flipkens managed to break Petkovic’s serve, gaining a crucial advantage.
