BUDAPEST, Hungary - Unseeded Alison Van Uytvanck added another seeded scalp to her tally at the Budapest Ladies' Open on Friday, as she defeated No.2 seed Zhang Shuai, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the semifinals.

The 2015 French Open quarterfinalist, ranked World No.80, also defeated No.5 seed Mihaela Buzarnescu in the second round this week. 

The 23-year-old Belgian has had a penchant for indoor tennis over the past six months, as she won her first career WTA title indoors as well last fall in Quebec City.
