REUTERS: Silent assassin Agnieszka Radwanska ended Victoria Azarenka’s bid for a hat-trick of titles at Melbourne Park on Wednesday and reached her maiden Australian Open semi-final with a 6-1 5-7 6-0 win. The crafty Pole frustrated Azarenka with a scrambling, cat-and-mouse game early and completely dismantled the big Belarusian in the third set to close out the match in exactly two hours under bright sunshine at Rod Laver Arena. Fifth seed Radwanska’s triumph ensured the top three seeds have all been eliminated early, with world number one Serena Williams and third-ranked Maria Sharapova already dumped from the tournament. The 24-year-old Radwanska will play 20th-seeded Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova for a place in the final.
