Barty goes on to meet 8th seed Jelena Ostapenko in the semifinals, who in the evening session recovered from a one-set deficit to stun world No. 1 Gabrine Muguruza 1-6, 6-3, 6-2 in just under two hours.

As she often does, Muguruza started off with command of the court out of the gate, going 2-0 before Ostapenko fought her to deuce in the third service game. But Muguruza's aggressive backhand was no match for the Latvian and she took the set with relative ease.

But it became clear that Ostapenko was finding her shooting rhythm in the second, storming to a 3-1 lead only to watch Muguruza level it at 3-all. But the Latvian was able to handle the pressure from Muguruza this time around and nabbed the set to force a decider.

"She started really well. I couldn't really get used to the rhythm. She was hitting pretty hard. Then in the second set I started to feel my game better and I started to play more aggressive," Ostapenko said of her turnaround performance.

The next match saw a poised Caroline Garcia of France move past Russia's Ekaterina Makarova in a tough match, 7-6 (3), 6-4.

Garcia was stronger on serve than she was on return throughout the match, and came out of the gate with a perfect service game, storming to a 4-0 lead before Makarova began to fight back, gradually leveling back to a tie but getting clobbered in the 7-3 breaker.

Garcia goes on to meet Greek qualifier Maria Sakkari in the semis, who vanquished Alize Cornet in yet another close match, 7-6 (2), 7-5.
