Fifth-seeded Sabalenka is the highest remaining seed left in a women's draw that has been upended by shocks. "It feels really special to be in the semi-finals here, it was a tough match," said Sabalenka, 24, who was competing in her first Australian Open quarter-final. "So we keep going. I don't want to get too excited because we are still in the tournament," added the Pole, who will break into the top 30 for the first time.
