Katie Boulter thrashes Bianca Andreescu at Pan Pacific Open to cruise into WTA 500 semi-finals in Tokyo | Tennis News

Katie Boulter is through to the semi-finals of the Toray Pan Pacific Open after cruising past Bianca Andreescu in straight sets in Tokyo.

The British No 1 took just 63 minutes to dismantle the former US Open champion 6-2 6-1 and book a semi-final meeting with either American wildcard Sofia Kenin or Russian third seed Daria Kasatkina.

Boulter broke Andreescu in the opening service game and survived a break point to hold in the next, with the ninth seed then rattling through the first set as she immediately took control of the contest.

Boulter is still yet to drop a set in the tournament, having beaten Priscilla Hon in straight sets in her tournament opener before thrashing Kyoka Okamura in the quarter-final.
