Williams will meet Licic-Baroni in the semi-finals as Serena upset Johana Konta in two sets while the Croatian surprised Karolina Pliskova.
Serena won her match pretty easy, giving her opponent only 5 games, 6:2 6:3 in what is a match forget for Konta who seemed to be in top form after a superb run in the tournament. Konta, who reached her second Grand Slam quarter-final only, while it was 47th for Serena, admitted to be really upset by the defeat. In the post-match interview, the American paid tribute to Konta as she called her a future AO champion.
In the other quarter final the surprise became true as Lucic-Baroni defeated Karolina Pliskova in 3 sets. The unseeded Croatian won 6:4 3:6 6:4 to reach her semifinal since Wimbledon in 1999. She will get in the way of Serena for the final where she could meet her sister should she win the other semifinal against Coco Vandeweghe.
