"To be in the semi-finals with so few people left in the tournament, it is a weird feeling and I haven't quite wrapped my head around it," she said.After beating Czech fourth seed Karolina Pliskova in her quarter-final, Sakkari said: "Emma is having a great run but I trust myself and trust my game. I believe a lot in myself.
