With several big names absent, Semifinal Saturday at the PPA Tour's Virginia Beach Open is full of fresh chances, Pickleball.com reports. In women's singles, No. 19 Sofia Sewing, who upset No. 2 seed Brooke Buckner in three games on Thursday, and No. 21 Helena Jansen Fink are each a win away from a first PPA Tour final.
No. 2 Noe Khlif and No. 7 Adam Harvey are chasing their first singles finals on U.S. soil, while Will Howells, Elliott Schupp and Max Freeman could make a first final in men's doubles.
