Brisbane International: Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina on Friday stormed into the semifinal of Brisbane International after her Russian opponent Anastasia Potapova retired mid-way due to injury.

The world No.4 Rybakina, who was leading 6-1 when her opponent retired, showcased her dominance in a match cut short by Potapova's unfortunate abdominal injury.

Potapova received a medical timeout at 4-1 down after a hotly-contested first five games. The first three games went with serve before Rybakina broke for 3-1 after Potapova led 40-15. In the next game, the Kazakh held from 0-40. On the ensuing changeover, the Russian laid on the court as the physio attended to her abdomen region.
