TOKYO — Katie Boulter has overcome a series of mediocre results on the WTA Tour's Asian swing to advance to the Pan Pacific Open semifinals with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Bianca Andreescu. The British player lost in recent weeks in the first round at Wuhan and in the second round to Coco Gauff at the China Open. But she dominated Andreescu, the 2019 U.S. Open champion, in the first of four quarterfinals in Tokyo on Friday. Boulter will play another Grand Slam singles champion, 2020 Australian Open winner Sofia Kenin, in the semis on Saturday. Kenin beat fifth-seeded Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 6-4.
