Ashleigh Barty has reached her first major semi-final after beating American Madison Keys in straight sets in the French Open quarter-finals.
Barty took just over an hour to see off the 14th-ranked Keys 6-3, 7-5 to progress to the final four at Roland Garros.
Serving for the match for the second time on Court Suzanne Lenglen, the eighth-seeded Australian won when Keys put a forehand into the net.
Barty will meet Amanda Anisimova for a spot in the final, after the unseeded American upstaged defending champion Simona Halep in straight sets in their quarter-final.
The Australian's win came after an entire day's play was washed out at the Open in Paris on Wednesday.
Along with fellow Queenslander Samantha Stosur, Barty is only the second Australian in the past decade to reach the top 10.
More to come.
