Linette keeps getting better; into Australian Open semis
Two days after advancing to her first Grand Slam tournament quarter-final, unseeded Magda Linette has gone one better and is into the Australian Open semi-finals.
Linette, who had lost seven of nine previous matches against Pliskova, has defeated Anett Kontaveit, Ekaterina Alexandrova and WTA Finals champion Caroline Garcia in successive rounds. “It’s so emotional I can’t really believe it,” Linette said. “I tried to stay composed and took my chances when I could.”
The other women’s semi-finalists were determined on Tuesday. Two-time former Australian champion Victoria Azarenka will play Wimbledon titleholder Elena Rybakina for a chance to play in Saturday night’s final. Rybakina beat Swiatek in the fourth round.
