The Semi-final match of Eastbourne International 2023 between Madison Keys and Coco Gauff will take place on June 30.
Madison Keys showcased her best performance of the week, defeating lucky loser Petra Martic 6-4, 6-1. Despite rain interruptions, the former US Open finalist dominated the match with more winners than unforced errors (26 to 13). It was her second win over Martic in four meetings. Keys advanced to the semifinals without dropping a set, overcoming deficits in earlier rounds. This marks her first semifinal appearance of the season, aiming to reach her first final since winning the Adelaide title in January 2022. Eastbourne holds significance for Keys, where she won her first WTA title nine years ago and converted both previous grass semifinals into titles.
Coco Gauff made an impressive comeback, overcoming a 0-3 deficit in the second set to defeat Jessica Pegula 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals. This win marked her third straight-set victory of the week and ended her 10-match losing streak against top 5 players. It was also her second career top 10 win on grass courts. Gauff has been in exceptional form, not losing more than three games in any of her six sets played. She is now aiming for her first final since January and hopes to improve her semifinal record, particularly against top 50 players.
