Peng Shuai To Face Wozniacki In The Semifinals
China's Peng Shuai will face Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki at the U.S. Open semifinals, Friday night Beijing time.
Peng made career history by reaching the last four after beating Belinda Bencic in the quarter-finals with a 6-2,6-1 win.
Peng looked strong in the quarter-finals, needing only 64 minutes to get past her opponent.
And with the win she has become only the third Chinese player to reach singles' semifinals of a Grand Slam, following Li Na and Zheng Jie.
Peng's performance has excited her Chinese fans.
Peng lost to Wozniacki in the WTA Brussels Open final on May 21, 2011.
On the Men's side,
No. six seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic breezed into quarterfinals by defeating Austria's Dominic Thiem in straight sets on Tuesday.
It cost Berdych just 98 minutes to finish the match.
Berdych is going to fight for his second U.S. Open semifinal in his meeting with Marin Cilic.
Marin Cilic of Croatia reached quarterfinals by beating Frenchman Gilles Simon in five sets on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, France's Gael Monfils has also reached the last eight following a straight sets upset of 7th seeded Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov.
However, Monfils' run at the US Open won't get any easier, as he's going to have to go up against Roger Federer.
2nd seeded Roger Federer beat 17th seeded Roberto Bautista Agut from Spain, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.
Whether Li Na Will Retire Remains Unknown
It remains unknown whether tennis ace Li Na will retire anytime soon.
China Daily reports Li's agent answered in an email to the newspaper, saying the star "will not retire" anytime soon.
A netizen has also posted a photo on Sina Weibo showing Li and her husband getting on a plane headed for Germany. It's assumed that she is going there for medical treatment or getting prepared for a winter exercise regime.
Li Na has so far not commented personally on any of the rumours surrounding her future as a player.
The 32-year-old is a superstar in China, the first and only player from this country to win a Grand Slam tournament. She has two such wins to her credit, including her victory at the Australian Open earlier this year.
However, she is missing the current US Open in New York due to a lingering knee injury.
There have been rumours within tennis circles that Li plans to retire in early October, following the China Open which begins near the end of this month.

Poulter, Westwood, Gallacher to join team Europe for Ryder Cup
In golf,
Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher have been named as Europe's wildcard picks for this month's Ryder Cup against the United States.
Westwood, Poulter and Gallacher join Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell and others in captain Paul McGinley's 12-member team.
Westwood, a former world number-1, has played in the last eight Ryder Cups.
However, this will be Stephen Gallacher's first time competing for Europe.
Captain Paul McGinley says putting a rookie on his squad wasn't an easy choice.
"Of course, it's a concern for me that he's a rookie, and it's very difficult to pick a rookie in the Ryder Cup, but I've said all along from day one that I'm not afraid to pick a rookie if he proves himself, and there's no doubt that Stevie Gallacher has proved himself and earned his spot in this team."
US captain Tom Watson has yet to announce his wildcard picks.
The Ryder Cup will be held at Gleneagles, Scotland at the end of this month.
