Lucic-Baroni advances to semis of the australian open 2017.

The Croatian’s extraordinary renaissance added another chapter at this year’s Australian Open on Wednesday when the comeback queen upset fifth seed Karolina Pliskova 6-4 3-6 6-4 at Rod Laver Arena.

It was her second major upset after taking down third seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round.

Lucic-Baroni had already deemed her run to this year’s Australian Open quarter-finals “so much better” than the run which took her to the Wimbledon semifinals in 1999, a run in which she defeated Monica Seles before falling to Steffi Graf.

This then is next level.

“I know this means a lot to every player to reach the semifinals but to me this is overwhelming. I will never ever, ever forget this day or the last couple of weeks,” Lucic-Baroni said.

“This has truly made my life and everything bad that happened, it has made it OK.

“Just the fact that I was this strong and that it was worth fighting for, it’s really incredible.”
