NEW YORK, Sept. 3 -- 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams of the United States eased past China's Wang Qiang in straight sets to reach the women's singles semifinals of the US Open on Tuesday.

Williams, a six-time US Open champion, exhibited a stunning display of form as she eased past 18th-seeded Wang 6-1, 6-0 in just 44 minutes. The victory is also Williams' 100th win at the US Open.

"It's really unbelievable. From when I first started here, I think I was 16, I didn't think I would ever get to 100. I didn't think I would still be out here," Williams said.

The 37-year-old American is seeking a 24th major title to match Australian legend Margaret Court's longstanding record.

"It feels good," Williams said of the one-sided match against Wang. "It feels like this is what I've been training for. This is how hard I've been working. It feels like, you know, hard work pays off when that happens."

The American was in devastating form from start to finish, hitting 25 winners to just ten unforced errors, and she never faced a break point.

Wang, who upset world number two Ashleigh Barty from Australia in the previous round, was left unable to replicate that form in the face of Williams' dominance. The Chinese number one did not hit any winners during the clash and lost all five of the break points she faced.

"I've been working on my speed, getting shots," Williams said. "I didn't give Wang too many chances in the match."
