New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS) The CBI on Saturday searched 14 locations in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, including the residence of a woman IAS officer, a Samajwadi Party leader and a BSP leader, in connection with its investigation into a case of illegal sand mining, with sources saying the role of former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who held the portfolio of mining, will also be probed.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) spokesperson AbhisSaturday saw off Japan’s Naomi Osaka 6-2, 6-4 in the Brisbane International semifinal, earning a place in her biggest career final.
It took Tsurenko one hour and five minutes to defeat Osaka, the second seed, securing a top-25 spot in the WTA rankings – to be issued on Monday – the highest of her career so far.
“I was just focused on every point and thinking about every shot like it’s the most important one. I don’t want to say that this was my best tennis, but it was quite a high level,” Tsurenko said.
The Ukrainian player broke her opponent’s serve twice in the first set, which she sealed in 28 minutes on the second set point she had, reports Efe news.
Tsurenko stormed into a 2-0 lead in the second set and maintained the advantage despite facing a couple of break points.
Osaka saved two match points at 3-5, but she eventually lost in the following game when Tsurenko seized on the fourth match point.
Next up for Tsurenko, who won a title in each of the last four years, will be either fifth seed Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic or Donna Vekiæ of Croatia.
