NEW YORK -- Karolina Pliskova came into the US Open with the dubious distinction of being the only woman currently ranked in the top 20 never to make a Grand Slam round of 16.She has now blown past that milestone, routing 18-year-old Ana Konjuh 6-2, 6-2 in just 57 minutes Wednesday to reach the semifinals.To be honest, I dont care at what time it came. Im just happy that its now and that it came, the 24-year-old Czech said of finally making a deep run at her 18th career major. There are people saying that I could be there earlier, but right now I feel great and I feel its the right time for having the results like this.She lost just one point on her serve in the first set Wednesday and never faced a break point.I was surprised and I was still waiting even in the first set; even in the second set I was still waiting -- [thinking] some complications going to come, Pliskova said. But, well, Im not going to complain.Pliskova broke Konjuhs serve in the matchs opening game, forcing the 92nd-ranked teenager to play from behind right from the start.Her serve is just too good, Konjuh said. Today on the court, she found her rhythm and took the opportunities that I gave her.The 6-foot-1 Pliskovva has the most aces on the womens tour this season, though that wasnt how she dominated Wednesday. Earl Campbell Jersey. Konjuh, also a big server, had more aces in the match, in fact (4-3). But she got only half of her first serves in and was broken four times, with four double-faults and 27 unforced errors.Pliskova, who rallied to beat sixth-seeded Venus Williams in three sets Monday, has now won 10 straight matches, riding the momentum of a breakthrough title at Cincinnati. She defeated second-ranked Angelique Kerber in the final there.Konjuh can take plenty of momentum away from Flushing Meadows, too. After what had been a disappointing, injury-plagued season, her ranking is projected to soar to a career-best No. 51. She hadnt been past the third round at a major before this tournament and upset fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska on Monday for her first win against a top-10 opponent.The 10th-seeded Pliskova will on Thursday face No. 1 Serena Williams, who beat?No. 5 Simona Halep 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.Unfortunately, Im in the part of the draw with Serena, Pliskova said.
