Melbourne, Jan. 27 -- The world number 12, Elina Svitolina, ousted the world number three and two-time Grand Slam winner Coco Gauff to advance to her maiden Australian Open semifinal on Tuesday.

The 19-time WTA tour-level titlist, yet to win her first-ever Grand Slam, took a big step ahead in her pursuit of glory, booking the clash against world number Aryna Sabalenka.

With this win, Elina has extended her winning streak to 10 matches, beating Gauff in straight sets by 6-1, 6-2 in a shockingly one-sided clash in the quarterfinals.

This is her fourth career semifinal at a Grand Slam, and her first at the Australian Open, with two semifinal finishes at Wimbledon and one at the US Open already in her record.
