Camila Giorgi interview. Toray Pan Pacific Open 2019.

A semiifnalist at last year's tournament, held in Tokyo, the Italian No. 1 needed 75 minutes to seal her spot in the last eight. She booked her third quarterfinal appearance in her last six events, where she'll face Belgian Elise Mertens. 

"It was a good match for sure and I was able to play my game, show off my attacking style and be consistent," Giorgi said after the match.

"When I play I always focus on myself. I only made a few mistakes. That’s always been my way, ever since I was little, to attack, to go forward, to put the pressure on. This surface suits my game, too."

Order of play. 21 September 2019. Toray Pan pacific open.

Anastasia pavlyuchenkova into final of the Toray Pan Pacific Open 2017

TOKYO, Japan
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova went from leading by a set and 5-2 to trailing 0-3 in the deciding set, but won six of the final seven games to defeat former WTA World No.1 Angelique Kerber, 6-0, 6-7(4), 6-4, to reach her first Premier final since 2015 at the Toray Pan Pacific Open.

"It was a lot of drama from both sides," she said during her on-court interview. "I didn’t expect to start so good, and I was playing really good tennis. Some moments weren’t so good, but I have to give credit to Angelique; she’s a great fighter, and it’s never easy against her. That’s why the score was like this, because she always turns things around. She played a great match, but I’m really happy to be in the finals here."
