Karman just won the first set 6-4. She was trailing 15-40 whilst serving in the penultimate game of the set but came back strongly to not only hold and break her opponent to love. Hope she continues the same level in the second set. Go KKT

Terrific victory for Karman Kaur Thandi. An Indian in the SF of a WTA tournament in Europe is pretty rare. Great achievement for Karman!

I think this is an ITF event.

[sameerph]

After winning the first set 7-6(3), Karman has lost the second set 1-6.

On to the decider.

[Dinesh]

Karman wins 7-6 1-6 6-4. What a dream week! This should give her a special exemption for next week’s Selva Gardena $25K main draw.

[suresh]

Tight win for Karman with a break in the last game of the third set. Wagner saved at least two break points.
