    "editor1": "Berlin Ladies Open: Former World No.1 Victoria Azarenka advanced to the Berlin Ladies Open semifinals on Friday, moving on after No.3 seed Elena Rybakina retired due to abdominal pain trailing 3-1 in the first set. The result puts Azarenka into her first grass-court semifinal since Berlin 2021.<p>The No.4 seed Jessica Pegula led qualifier Katerina Siniakova 7-6(2), 3-6, 4-2 in the second quarterfinal of the day before rain halted play for the day. The remaining two quarterfinals -- No.1 seed Coco Gauff against No.8 seed Ons Jabeur and No.2 seed Aryna Sabalenka against Anna Kalinskaya -- did not get on court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Gauff and Jabeur will start on Saturday at Steffi Graf Stadion while Sabalenka and Kalinskaya play concurrently on Court 1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pegula and Siniakova will resume after Gauff and Jabeur, followed by the two semifinals -- Azarenka against either Sabalenka or Kalinskaya, then the Gauff\/Jabeur winner against the Pegula\/Siniakova winner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pegula, bidding for the first grass-court semifinal of her career, had begun to pull away from Siniakova after the Czech slipped while leaping for a lob in the first game of the decider. Though Siniakova was able to resume, she lost 10 of the next 11 points to go down 3-0 before taking an off-court medical timeout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
