Vaidisova advances to semifinals

Our Nicol Vaidisova won against Venus Williams.

Czech teen Nicole Vaidisova's coming out party at Roland Garros continued in remarkable fashion on Tuesday, when she stunned five time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams 6-7(5) 6-2 6-3 to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal.

"I'm so happy and excited and happy I could scream," said Vaidisova, who ripped 30 winners to 25 from Williams.

"After I lost the first set I didn't think I could pull it off. I'm trying to get wiser and more mature and get my game face on. I kept fighting hard and it worked."
