GAIBA, Italy (AP) — Top-seeded Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium has eased into the semifinals of the Veneto Open with another straight-set victory. Van Uytvanck saw off Swiss player Ylena In-Albon 6-4, 6-2. Van Uytvanck hasn’t dropped a set this week. She will face Harmony Tan in the semifinals after the Frenchwoman beat Ana Bogdan 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. The other semifinal pits sixth-seeded Diane Parry against Sara Errani. It is the first WTA tournament played on natural grass in Italy and organizers are using former soccer fields for the courts.
