Frenchwoman Varvara Gracheva moved into the last four of the Trophée Clarins by beating second seed Katie Boulter 6-3, 7-6 (6) on Friday.
Gracheva, ranked No 88, will face the winner of the match between No 6 seed Diana Shnaider and Erika Andreeva next. It will be her first semi-final of the season.
Ahead of her victory, the Frenchwoman benefited from the abandonment of Romanian Ana Bogdan, the No 7 seed (4-0) and edged out American Katie Volynets (2-6, 6-2, 6-4).
Boulter, ranked No 28, won against Harriet Dart (6-0, 6-4) and Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova (6-2, 6-4) in the previous rounds.
