The unbeatable top-ranked Serena Williams won the blockbuster quarterfinal against Victoria Azarenka, 3-6 6-2 6-3, in an imposing comeback victory. Can you imagine that almost all Vika's recent losses have come at the hands of Serena or Sharapova? Dating back to Indian Wells: Sharapova, Pennetta, Serena, Sharapova, Serena, Serena.
And speaking of Sharapova, the Russian is Williams' next opponent. Maria Sharapova stopped Coco Vandeweghe 6-3 6-7(3) 6-2, the American who had taken out three seeded players en route to the quarters and in Tuesday's big encounter managed to force the decider by pushing through the second set after a 5-3 deficit and kept the third set entertaining by breaking back after an initial 3-0 disadvantage.
