Yastremska Shines: Australia Open 2024 Qualifier Advances to Semis.

Dayana Yastremska expressed her joy, stating, "It's nice to make history." She achieved this milestone by defeating Linda Noskova, becoming the first qualifier since 1978 to reach the Australian Open semi-finals.

Ukraine's Yastremska easily defeated the Czech teenager 6-3, 6-4, extending her winning streak to eight matches in Melbourne. 
Currently ranked 93rd in the world, she expressed, "It's something new for me and my generation since the last time it happened was a long time ago."

In the upcoming match, she will face either Chinese 12th seed Zheng Qinwen or Russia's Anna Kalinskaya for a spot in Saturday's final. 
At 23, Yastremska is the second qualifier in the Open era to reach the Melbourne Park semi-finals, following Christine Dorey in the 1978 tournament.
