New York (PTI): Sania Mirza and her Chinese partner Jie Zheng stormed into the semi-finals of the women's doubles with a straight sets victory over fourth seeds Su-Wei Hsieh and Shuai Peng here. The 10th seeded Sania-Zheng pair had little trouble in defeating the current Wimbledon champions Su-Wei Hsieh of Taipei and Peng Shuai of China 6-4, 7-6 in exactly an hour and 50 minutes to advance to the last four stage.
Sania and Zheng will meet eighth seeds -- Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua -- in the semi-final. Sania and Zheng were quick to seize the initiative and a single break was enough to give them the opening set. The second set went on serve before the Indo-Chinese combination secured a mini-break and held their serve thereafter to pocket the match.
