Well, who saw that coming? Iga Swiatek\u2019s shock defeat to Caroline Garcia<\/a> has left the door open for an surprise WTA champion in Warsaw. And while the world #1\u2019s fairy-tale homecoming has come to an end, four players still remain with a chance of completing a dream week here. Here\u2019s how they line up on Saturday.<\/p>\n

WTA Warsaw Semifinal Predictions<\/h2>\n

Kateryna Baindl vs Ana Bogdan<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: 2-1 Bogdan<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot on the line for these two players, both of whom came into this week outside the world\u2019s Top 100. To get to the final of a WTA250 would be a major scalp, and the pair have met in the none-too-distant past, with Bogdan winning the pair\u2019s two matches last year. Bogdan has been in destructive form this week too. She hasn\u2019t dropped a set in three matches in and has lost just six games in the last two rounds. Baindl\u2019s journey here–which included the qualification stage–has been rather more arduous, though a three-set comeback over the in-form Petra Martic will certainly help her confidence. Bogdan\u2019s good form puts her in good stead for this one though.
