NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 06: Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus celebrates a point against Qinwen Zheng of China during their Women's Singles Quarterfinal match on Day Ten of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 06, 2023 - AFPPIX: Aryna Sabalenka stayed on course for her second Grand Slam title of the season after cruising past China’s Zheng Qinwen in straight sets to reach the US Open semi-finals on Wednesday.
The Belarusian second seed will face either Marketa Vondrousova of the Czech Republic or Madison Keys of the United States in the last four.“I’m super happy with the win against her, she played incredible tennis at the US Open this year.” However Sabalenka said she is not thinking about her new-found status as the world’s top player just yet.“But I have some things still to do in New York this year and I’ll think about becoming No.1 after the US Open.”
But the 20-year-old 23rd seed never looked like toppling the hard-hitting Sabalenka, who threatened to run away with the match after a blistering start in which she broke Zheng twice for a 3-0 lead, conceding just two points.
