Two days after advancing to her first Grand Slam tournament quarterfinal, unseeded Magda Linette has gone one better and is into the Australian Open semifinals.
The 30-year-old Linette beat Karolina Pliskova 6-3, 7-5 on Wednesday, adding the former No. 1 to the list of top players she has beaten at Melbourne Park during this tournament.
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.
A player from Poland was favored to reach the latter stages of the tournament, but it was top-seeded Iga Swiatek that everyone would have expected 바카라 and not Linette.
바카라It바카라s so emotional I can바카라t really believe it,바카라 Linette said. 바카라I tried to stay composed and took my chances when I could.바카라
Linette will play the winner of the second women바카라s quarterfinal on Wednesday between No. 5 Aryna Sabalenka and unseeded Donna Vekic. They meet in Thursday night바카라s semifinals.
The other women바카라s semifinalists were determined on Tuesday. Two-time former Australian champion Victoria Azarenka will play Wimbledon titleholder Elena Rybakina for a chance to play in Saturday night바카라s final. Rybakina beat Swiatek in the fourth round.
Later Wednesday, the remaining men바카라s semifinalists will be determined. Unseeded Americans Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul play before nine-time champion Novak Djokovic takes on Andrey Rublev.
Djokovic will be looking to qualify for his 44th Grand Slam semifinal and a win in that match on Friday would advance him on Sunday night to his 33rd major singles final.
The other men바카라s semifinal on Friday will see third-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas play Karen Khachanov.
