China’s No 1 tennis player and US Open champion Zhang Shuai kept up her remarkable recent doubles form by reaching the semi-finals of the J&T Banka Ostrava Open with partner Sania Mirza.
The Chinese-Indian duo saw off the threat of Lidziya Marozava of Belarus and Kazakhstan’s Anna Danilina in the quarter-final of the WTA 500 tournament in the Czech Republic.
World No 13 doubles player Zhang and 110th-ranked Mirza, who partnered up in Luxembourg last week after Zhang lifted the US Open with Samantha Stosur, won out 6-3, 3-6, 10-6 in the end.
The reward for the second seeds is a match against the fourth-seeded Japanese duo Eri Hozumi and Makoto Ninomiya in semi-final.

The duo of Sania Mirza and Shuai Zhang have defeated Anna Danilina and Lidziya Marozava in the Women's Doubles Quarterfinal match at Ostrava Open.
