Istanbul:
Anastasia Myskina of Russia and Anna-Lena Groenefeld of Germany advanced to the semifinals of the Istanbul Cup on Thursday.
The second-seeded Groenefeld defeated Karolina Sprem of Croatia 6-4, 6-4.
Top-seeded Myskina beat sixth-seeded Catalina Castano of Colombia 6-4, 7-6 (3).
Myskina said she found Castano's style difficult to respond to.
"She threw balls that were high and low. I could not serve the way I wanted to," Myskina said.
Groenefeld said she was happy with her game.
"I am happy with the way I played," Groenefeld said. "I had a problem with my arm but served really well against Sprem. I tried to play aggressively".
Myskina will face ninth-seeded Michaella Krajicek of the Netherlands, who beat Anastasiya Yakimova of Belarus 6-1, 6-0. (AP)
