Peng Shuai's impressive run at the US Open continued this afternoon as she dealt with Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic in straight sets to reach the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows.
China's Peng was the first to look shaky on serve, but she saved two break points and took a 2-1 lead before winning four of the next five games to claim the opener 6-2.
It was even more straightforward in the second as 17-year-old Swiss Bencic saw her run in New York come to an end, with Peng closing the match out 6-2 6-1 in just over an hour.
Awaiting Peng, who had never previously reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam, in the semis is either Sara Errani or Caroline Wozniacki, who play their quarter later tonight.
