LONDON (AP) Ranked 87th and unseeded at Wimbledon, Magdalena Rybarikova is making quite a run at the grass-court major.
The 28-year-old Slovak reached the semifinals at the All England Club on Tuesday, beating CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-3 and improving her record on grass to 18-1 this season.
”I won Birmingham (in 2009). Now I won two titles, ITF, I made semifinals in Nottingham, and I won against good players,” said Rybarikova, referring to a couple of lower-tier tournaments and the Aegon Open.
”I just recently played ITFs in Surbiton. I was thinking that I was nervous more there than today.
