Rositsa Dencheva lost in the singles semi-final of the women's B50 tournament in Burgas, but she will enter the world top 200 for the first time. Spain's Ane Mintegi del Olmo, the No. 8 seed, beat her 0-6, 6-3, 6-0 in 1 hour 41 minutes.

This story follows our earlier report on the ten Bulgarian women in the main draw in Burgas, where Dencheva was seeded No. 4.

Bulgaria's number two won the first set in 28 minutes without losing a game, then lost the next two. She won three matches and dropped only one set before the semi-final. Dencheva is ranked No. 205 in the world this week.

The tournament has prize money of $40,000. The winner of each B50 event gets 50 world ranking points.

Haskovo, Pazardzhik and Plovdiv each hosted one B50 event on this year's World Tennis Tour calendar, and Burgas is the fourth. Stara Zagora will host one more, from October 11 to 18, before the end of the year.
