PALERMO, Italy, July 11 (UPI) -- Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain moved into the semifinals of the Palermo Open Friday and continued her comeback from a knee injury.
Medina Garrigues rallied past eighth-seeded Virginie Razzano of France, 2-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3), knocking off a seed for the second straight match.
Last year, Medina Garrigues suffered a torn ACL in the Australian Open. She has been inconsistent since her return, reaching the final at Bogota in February but suffering a handful of first-round losses.
