Martic Defeats Buzarnescu To Reach Bucharest Final
Petra Martic defeats home favorite Mihaela Buzarnescu to reach her first final since 2012 at the Bucharest Open.
It was semifinal day at the Bucharest Open with Petra Martic and Anastasija Sevastova both celebrating.
Martic ended hope of a fourth Romanian winner in five years as she brushed aside Mihaela Buzarnescu 6-4 6-4, reaching a first final since 2012.
Top seed Sevastova will provide tough competition for the Croatian, though, after Polona Hercog's retirement gave her a comfortable path into the final.
Hercog had her right thigh strapped during the last-four meeting, and called it a day after losing the opening set 6-1.
