INDIAN WELLS, CA, USA - Yanina Wickmayer will be taking on her third Top 20 opponent this tournament when she plays No.17 Marion Bartoli in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open on Friday. She got off to a rough start in her initial matches against those ranked in the Top 20, losing her first seven. But she was a teenager in each of those and since that 0-7 start has actually gone 10-8 against such opponents, including 2-0 so far this fortnight.
