INDIAN WELLS, CA, USA – Serena Williams ended the 15-match winning streak of Timea Bacsinszky on Wednesday night to reach the BNP Paribas Open semifinals, where she’ll face Simona Halep.
The No.27-seeded Bacsinszky had been in the zone for weeks – that 15-match winning streak included back-to-back WTA titles in Acapulco and Monterrey and three more wins here. It looked like she might threaten Williams, as well, as she broke in the first game of the match and rode that to a 3-1 lead.
But the No.1-seeded Williams had her own winning streak going, 14 in a row coming into this match, and she battled back to keep it alive, beating Bacsinszky for her own 15th win in a row, 7-5, 6-3.
