Coco Vandeweghe Smashes Her Racquet To Pieces At The Australian Open

... behind her, she looked to close the game out when a forehand got away from her following a nine-shot rally, landing outside the tramlines. Vandeweghe was widely expected to beat Duan, who is more than 30 places below her in the WTA rankings, but failed to deliver on the night. Vandeweghe was not the only one smashing racquets on Wednesday - Nick Kyrgios also threw his at the ground during his defeat to Andreas Seppi.

In fairness to Vandeweghe she was not the only person smashing racquets on Wednesday night.

From then on her shot making was sublime and didn’t give Muguruza an inch on her own serve, breaking the 2016 French Open champ two more times and conceding just 10 points for the set. The flawless performance sets up an all-American semifinal against former world No.1 Venus Williams, a player who the 25-year-old looked up to growing up playing tennis.

"It's a dream to play someone you grew up watching. To play an unbelievable player, future Hall of Famer, Venus, to be on the court with her, I've only experienced it one time before," Vandeweghe said. "But to do it at this stage of a Grand Slam is kind of crazy. I mean, I can't really put it into words. Not only when I was younger, it was unknown if I even wanted to play tennis. "I was playing basketball as well, but it was kind of, like, you see that, you see it ...

Kerber Gets To 4th Round; Vandeweghe Also Wins

The only way Kerber can lose the No. 1 ranking to Serena is if she fails to reach the final and Serena wins the title.
