Thailand Open 2023 results today, Highlights & Scores: Bianca Andreescu, Wang Xinyu into semifinals, Marta Kostyuk out | Day 7 Recap
The seventh day (Friday, February 3) of the 2023 Thailand Open was a visual treat for fans, with the likes of Bianca Andreescu, Lesia Tsurenko and Tatjana Maria in action, among others. While some of them secured a spot in the final four, others failed to do so.
Former US Open champion Andreescu advanced after defeating Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk in straight sets. China's Zhu Lin, who registered a fourth-round finish at the 2023 Australian Open, wasn't far behind as she too made it to the semifinals with a straight-sets victory over Tamara Zidansek.
However, there was a major upset that pretty much no one saw coming: sixth seed Tatjana Maria had her run cut short by unseeded Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko.
Without further ado, here are the results from the Day 7 of the 2023 Thailand Open:
