| France's Amelie Mauresmo, the former world No 1, returns a ball in her match against Chinese player Peng Shuai at the Beijing Tennis Center September 21, 2007. |
| BEIJING, Sept. 22 - Local hope Peng Shuai grabbed the last berth of the last four at the China Open WTA tournament after rallying past third-seeded Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo in the quarterfinals at the Beijing Tennis Centre here on Friday.
The two-times Grand Slam winner ran out of gas in the last two sets, slumping2 to the 21-year-old Chinese girl 4-6, 6-4, 6-2 in two and a half hours.
Peng's reward will be a Saturday semifinal against Hungarian sixth seed Agnes Szavay, who produced an impressive display of baseline hitting to sweep past lucky loser Emilia Salerni from Argentina 6-2, 6-4.
The No. 113 Argentine received a place in the draw when top seed and titleholder Svetlana Kuznetsova withdrew with an abdominal3 injury before her opening match.
After a solid start in the first set, Peng seemed shaky being 40-15 down in the second service game, but she saved three break points in all to hold serve characterized with all-court running and spectacular returns.
Peng, likely to be at about the peak of her game this season thrashing Swiss Martina Hingis in the second round, was again in deep trouble in the ninth game, allowing her opponent three breaking opportunities.
The Frenchwoman converted on the second and never looked back before drawing first blood at 6-4.
The second set was much tighter, and after two exchanges of breaks at 4-4, Peng started to show more battling qualities, holding serve in the ninth game while facing two break points and went on to take decisive break in the next game to pull back one set.
Inspired by a thunderous audience, Peng, last year's semifinalist here, was in a class of her own, stretching Mauresmo all the way while the 28-year-old Frenchwoman was troubled with too many unforced errors, losing the final set at 6-2.
Despite the ranking of 49th in the world, Peng has been very dangerous in the past, notching4 three top 10 wins in her young career, all on hardcourt, before she came into the quarterfinal.
