Azarenka sees off Paszek to reach last four
Victoria Azarenka beat Tamira Paszek 6-3 7-6 on Tuesday
to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals for the second year in a row and
stay on course to become world number one.
The second-seeded Belarussian eased through the first
set in 46 minutes but Austrian Paszek, who beat former world number one
Caroline Wozniacki in the first round, hung in tenaciously to force a
tiebreak in the second.
Azarenka moved 6-3 ahead under the Centre Court roof
and she clinched victory on her second match point after one hour 49
minutes when Paszek sent a backhand long.
Azarenka will play four-times champion Serena Williams in the semi-finals.
