Tatjana Korpatsch, ranked 99 and competing for Germany, reaches the semi-finals of La Bisbal D'Emporda on clay with mixed recent form. The German player has won her last two matches, defeating Jil Teichmann and Lucia Stefanini in straight sets, but struggled beforehand with three consecutive losses to Katerina Volynets, Daria Shnaider, and Anastasia Potapova. This is Korpatsch's first career meeting with Mariana Bassols Tena, with no head-to-head history between the two players.

Mariana Bassols Tena, ranked 183 from Spain, enters the semi-final clash at La Bisbal D'Emporda seeking to maintain her run on clay. The Spanish player has shown resilience in reaching this stage with two recent victories over Anna Bolsova Zadoinov and Anna Zakharova, though she suffered losses to Anhelina Kalinina and Lucia Pigato earlier in her recent matches. Bassols Tena faces a higher-ranked opponent in Korpatsch with both players meeting for the first time on the WTA circuit.
