Last year&#8217;s No. 2 seed is through to the semi-finals after beating Kazakhstan&#8217;s Yulia Putintseva 7-5, 6-2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-paragraph\" data-t-name=\"Paragraph\">The Swiss player got off to the worst possible start to the match in south-east China: she was initially 0:4 and then 1:5 down. However, Golubic turned the match around and won 12 of the last 14 games, which led to her third win in her fourth duel with the world number 75 from Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-paragraph\" data-t-name=\"Paragraph\">Golubic probably still knows little about her next opponent. In the semi-finals, she will face the surprising teenager Lilli Tagger. It will be the Zurich native&#8217;s first meeting with the 17-year-old Austrian, who will improve her ranking from No. 235 by at least 65 positions this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a-paragraph\" data-t-name=\"Paragraph\">The 33-year-old Golubic, who has already won eight matches in a row in Jiujiang, is certain to occupy at least 67th place in the world rankings from Monday. There is a lot at stake for her this week: with 250 points to defend, she must successfully defend her title in order not to lose any positions in the rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Viktorija Golubic reaches the semi-finals again in Jiujiang Keystone Viktorija Golubic continues her winning streak at the WTA&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263410,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-263409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263409\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
