Naomi Osaka, with her experience eased passed Chinese Taipei’s Hsieh Su-wei to seal her place in the semi-final where she will meet Serena Williams.
The 2019 champion Osaka, stretched her winning streak to 19 consecutive matches after winning against an unorthodox opponent.
39-year-old Serena Williams, edging towards a record-equaling 24th Grand Slam title, won against Romanian Simona Halep.
Williams will try to find angles with powerful returning against Osaka, as she did against Simona allowing her to quickly reassert authority and break again for a 4-2 lead before serving out for the opening set.
The question is whether Williams would be able to maintain such a high level in the second set, against one of the best movers in the game.
