Raducanu hit the six years older Swiss on Wednesday without any nerve flutter 6: 3, 6: 4 and reached the round of the last four at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time.
Raducanu, 150. In the WTA ranking, this is the first qualifier in the semi-final of New York and the first third athlete to Billie Jean King 1979 and Kim Clijster's 2009, which managed as a player beyond the top 100 so far. I had to adapt something after starting the match and I'm just happy that I came through, Raducanu said.
In the round of the best four, they expect a duel with the former world ranking Karolina Pliskova from the Czech Republic or the French Open Semi-Finalist Maria Sakkari from Greece. The second semi-finals deny the 19-year-young Canadian Leylah Fernandez and the World Ranking Listing Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus.
