Ostapenko upsets Wozniacki to reach Volvo Car Open semifinals

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia upset Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 6-2, 6-4 on Friday night to reach the semifinals at the Volvo Car Open.

Wozniacki was the highest remaining seed in the tournament, having won two matches on a windy Thursday. Her second-round match was rained out on Wednesday night, forcing her into double duty. She was the lone former champ left in the draw.

The 35-year-old Lucic-Baroni, the oldest player left in the draw, rallied after a tough first set to win 6-7(7), 6-1, 6-1. She had never been past the round of 16.

In the other matches, Daria Kasatkina of Russia topped Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania 6-4, 6-1, and Laura Siegemund of Germany beat Latvia's Anastasija Sevastova 6-2, 6-4.
