Krawczyk, a Palm Desert product, actually played two semifinal matches on Friday - also competing in women's doubles with Alexa Guarachi. No. 7 seed Krawczyk and Guarachi came up short losing 2-6 5-7 to Samantha Stosur and Shaui Zhang.
On the mixed court, Krawczyk and Joe Salisbury have only dropped two sets all tournament.
