Vandeweghe knocks world number one Pliskova out of US Open
CoCo Vandeweghe of the United States in action against Karolina Pliskova
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
CoCo Vandeweghe defeated world number one Karolina Pliskova 7-6(4) 6-3 to become the third American woman to reach the semifinals at the US Open on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old New York native fed off the energy of the partisan crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which erupted when Pliskova returned a serve into the net on match point.
Defeat for the Czech ensured that she would no longer be top when the latest rankings are released next week.
A frustrated looking Pliskova struggled to find her rhythm throughout the match, serving just two aces while committing three double faults.
After wrapping up victory, Vandeweghe briefly fell to her knees before shaking hands with Pliskova and then walking over to her box to celebrate with her team.
"Even though we are out here individually, it's a team sport," she said in an on-court interview.
"They work as hard as I do."
Next up for the tournament's 20th seed is a showdown with either fellow American Madison Keys or Kaia Kanepi of Estonia.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
