Petra Martic (#119) reached her first WTA semifinal this year in Bogota.  She lost to eventual champion Lourdes Dominguez Lino in a walkover.  This appearance should help her go closer to the Top 100.  What's great about this achievement was she had three wins over players ranked much higher than her including a Top 50 player in Polona Hercog.  Below was her path to the semi-finals -

SF - lost to Lourdes Dominguez Lino (ESP) (#77) W/O
QF - Laura Pous-Tio (ESP) (#92) 76(4) 63
2R - Polona Hercog (SLO) (#49) 62 63
1R - Zuzana Ondraskova (CZE) (#81) 75 61
