Highlights: Kerber races into last four
Vinci’s hopes of causing an upset disintegrated when she foot-faulted at set point in the opener – the Italian sarcastically applauding the line judge as she walked away – with her composure absent thereon.
Kerber will face the winner of Caroline Wozniacki’s clash with Anastasija Sevastova.

Awesome drop shot-lob combo from Kerber
The 28-year-old will definitely take the No.1 ranking with victory at Flushing Meadows, while she can also clinch it if Williams fails to reach the final.
