Dominant defending champion Aryna Sabalenka stormed past ninth seed Barbora Krejcikova. The world number two was untouchable in a commanding 6-2, 6-3 victory on Rod Laver Arena, reaching the last four at a Grand Slam for the sixth consecutive time. She will meet Coco Gauff next in the semis, in a replay of last year's US Open final, which the American teenager won in three sets. Dropping just 16 games so far at Melbourne Park, Gauff will be the underdog again.
