Impressive Karolina Pliskova eases past Ana Konjuh at US Open

Karolina Pliskova is through to her first grand slam semi-final after easing past Croatia’s Ana Konjuh at the US Open last night.

Pliskova had never made it past the third round at a major tournament before but the Czech continued her excellent run at Flushing Meadows with a 6-2 6-2 win.

Pliskova arrived in New York in strong form, having just beaten world number two Angelique Kerber to claim the title in Cincinnati last month.
