Defending champion Caroline Garcia won twice in one day to book her place in the semifinals of the Mallorca Open.

The Frenchwoman's second-round clash against Jana Cepelova had been suspended because of darkness on Thursday.

She returned to complete a 6-3, 6-7 (5/7), 6-3 victory and then defeated Roberta Vinci 6-2, 7-6 (10/8).

In the semifinals, Garcia will face second seed Anastasija Sevastova in a rematch of last year's final after the Latvian saw off Ana Konjuh 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (7/5).

Eighteen-year-old American Cici Bellis continued her brilliant run with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Kristyna Pliskova and will face Julia Goerges, who won an all-German clash with Sabine Lisicki 6-2, 6-4.
