Halep meets Kerber as top two seeds set to face off in Rogers Cup semifinal
MONTREAL — Any concerns about Angelique Kerber’s left elbow have been put to rest at the US$2.4 million women’s Rogers Cup.
The second seed from Germany advanced to the semifinals on Friday with a thorough 6-2, 6-2 victory over unseeded Russian Daria Kasatkina to reach the final four. She did it without a twinge from the elbow that forced her to withdraw from a match last week in Sweden and put her Rogers Cup participation in doubt.
“My elbow is feeling much better,” said Kerber. “I had a lot of treatments when I came here.
“It’s actually better from match to match. I’m not feeling it anymore. Hopefully it will stay like this.”
