Vandeweghe storms into Australian Open semis
Jan 24, 2017
American Coco Vandeweghe has stormed into her first grand slam semi-final after defeating 7th seed, Garbine Muguruza in straight sets at the Australian Tennis Open.
Vandeweghe is up against Venus Williams in the last 4, and the 25 year old is relishing the chance to take on the tennis veteran.
She said: "the last time I ever played Venus was on clay, so I hope that it will be a totally different match, and it's an honour to play a great champ like Venus...she's someone I grew up watching play tennis and who I sought after for an autograph"
Williams reached her first Australian Open semi in 14 years, after defeating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
