New Delhi, May 19 (IANS) Indian wildcard Kyra Shroff brushed aside Natasha Palha 6-3, 6-1 and Ronit Bisht dispatched Hong Kong's Justin To 6-2,6-2 to enter the girls' and boys' semifinals in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior Grade II tournament at the DLTA complex here Wednesday.
Shroff and Bisht are the only Indians in the fray.
Palha, who knocked off fifth-seeded Chinese Lin Zhu in the quarterfinals, was off-colour against Shroff and her mounting errors only made things difficult for her.
Shroff now plays second seed Chinese Ran Tian, who sent Japan's Miho Kowase packing 6-4, 6-4.
In the other girls' quarterfinals, China's Zhaoxuan Yang shocked top seed Japanese Eri Hozumi 7-6(5), 6-2 to set up a semi-final clash with fourth-seeded compatriot Zi Yang, who outclassed city girl Ratnika Batra 6-1, 6-0.
In the boys' section, seventh-seed Bisht is now up against second-seeded Chinese Chuhan Wang, who defeated India's Vinod Gowda 6-3, 6-0.
Top seed Liang-Chi Huang of Chinese Taipei breezed past India's Mansingh Athare 6-1, 6-1 and now faces China's third seed Bowen Ouyang, who defeated eighth-seeded Indian Vaidik Munshaw 6-3, 6-3.
