Daria Kasatkina knocked off World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki to reach the semifinals, 7-6(2), 6-3.
The No.8 seed scored her second career win over a reigning World No.1, having beaten Angelique Kerber when the German held the top spot last season in Sydney.
Kasatkina played a dominant tiebreak in the opener after failing to serve out the first set at 6-5, and won three of the last four games of the match after Wozniacki got the second set back on serve.
"She just won the Australian Open, and since I beat her, it means I was playing really well," Kasatkina said on-court after the match. "I was just trying to play point-by-point and focus on the rally."
