US-based Raveena made a remarkable comeback from being 1-5 down, snatching five straight games to go up 6-5.

But the Russian did not give up as she turned it around with some classic rallies and powerful serves to take the first set into the tie-break.

Sharifova ensured it was a one-sided affair in the second set to make the last four.

In boys' singles, top seed Skander Mansouri of Tunisia was given a brave fight by Croatian Nino Serdarusic before the former prevailed 4-6 6-3 6-3 in the two-hour-fifty-minute battle.
