Tianjin Open photos: Sharapova vs. Peng, Sabalenka vs. Errani semifinals

On Saturday at the Tianjin Open, Maria Sharapova reached her first final since 2015 with a 6-3 6-1 victory over third seed and defending champion Peng Shuai, while Aryna Sabalenka will make her debut in the WTA finals thanks to a 6-1 6-3 win over the 2012 Roland Garros runner-up Sara Errani, who was playing her first tournament since the two-month doping ban. Our photographer Jimmie48 was there all day long, from Sharapova’s pre-match practice session until the semifinals were finished.
