Victoria Azarenka dropped only one game en route to victory over No.16 seed Elise Mertens to reach the US Open semi-finals where she will take on Serena Williams in a highly anticipated clash.

Azarenka was pleased with how she played and looked ahead to the tie against the No.3 seed; believing that she will bring the best out of her.
“I felt today I really executed the game very precisely,” Azarenka told press after the match. “I was moving really well. I saw the ball very long. It was long on my racquet. I saw it where I needed to see it. So I felt I played well.
“I found all the right answers to everything she was trying to make today and more; so I'm very happy with that today.”
“I love playing against Serena,” Azarenka continued. “I think we have one of the best matches - at least that I played in my career - against her. We always played on big stages. It was a lot of big fights. She's one of the players who push me to the limit, who makes me better.
“I'm excited for that. It's been a while since we played... I think the semifinal of a Grand Slam is a different stage. It's going to be a different fight. I'm looking forward to it.”
