Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova continues to advance confidently through the draw of the WTA 250 clay court tournament in Iași, Romania. In a tense quarter-final match, she defeated French player Clara Burel.

### Dramatic Victory in Two Sets

The match against the Frenchwoman turned into a tough struggle, where the outcome remained uncertain until the very last points. The fate of the ticket to the next round was decided at the limit of capabilities in the closing stages of each set. Ultimately, Oliynykova managed to capitalize on her chances and won with a score of 6:4, 7:5.

### Second Semi-Final of the Season

This victory marked the Ukrainian athlete's second semi-final appearance at a WTA 250 level tournament since the start of the current season. Previously, she demonstrated a high level of play in February, also reaching the semi-finals in Romania — at the tournament in Cluj-Napoca.

### Next Opponent

Now, just one step away from the final match in Iași, Oliynykova awaits a showdown with Egyptian player Mayar Sherif. Her future opponent eliminated Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva from the draw in her quarter-final match.
