Spain's Virginia Ruano Pascual reached her first semi-final of the season with a 7-6 4-6 7-6 victory over India's Sania Mirza at the Korea Open on Friday.
The world number 72 dashed Mirza's hopes of a second WTA title just one day after the Indian had upset top seed Martina Hingis and next plays Japan's Ai Sugiyama, who eased to a 6-2 6-3 victory over Paola Suarez of Argentina.
With Hingis and number two seed Maria Kirilenko already out of the tournament, Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli is the highest ranked player remaining in the draw.
The third seed faces Japan's Akiko Morigami later on Friday, with the winner going on to meet Eleni Daniilidou of Greece, who upset Russia's Vera Zvonareva 7-6 6-4 in their quarter-final.
