- Belarusian brushes aside Paris Olympics champion 6-1, 6-2
- Sabalenka into her fourth straight semi at Flushing Meadows
Hard-hitting Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka reached her fourth straight US Open semi-final as she rolled past China’s Zheng Qinwen 6-1, 6-2.
Sabalenka beat Zheng to pick up her second Australian Open title earlier this year and used the same playbook at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where she dominated the seventh seed with her trademark mighty forehand.
