Christian ousts Parenteau to make semifinals
OVERLAND PARK, KS - Kaitlyn Christian is into the semifinals of the Selkirk Kansas City Open after an 11-2, 5-11, 11-5 victory over top-seeded Catherine Parenteau.
The No. 5 seed found success coming into the net at nearly every opportunity. A combination of precise volleys and impressive anticipation allowed the former top-40 WTA tennis player to gain control of rallies from the kitchen line, which proved to be difference-maker down the stretch.
