Aryna Sabalenka pummelled her Chinese opponent with 17 winners and never faced a break point.
NEW YORK: Second seed Aryna Sabalenka crushed Zheng Qinwen 6-1, 6-4 on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday to reach her fifth straight Grand Slam semifinal and end the 23rd seed’s charmed run at the US Open.
Zheng had never made it to a major quarterfinal and endured a miserable time against the Australian Open winner, as she was unable to get much power off her serve and the Belarusian forced her into 23 errors. “I’m super happy with the win against her… super happy with the performance,” said Sabalenka, who lost in the semifinals in her previous two US Open appearances.Sabalenka has not dropped a set this year at Flushing Meadows and she won the first five games, dropping only one first-serve point in a near-pristine first set.
