Laura Robson is through to the semi-finals of the Guangzhou Open in China after a three-set victory over Peng Shuai.

The newly-crowned British number one saw off the Chinese second seed 7-5 5-7 6-2 to reach the last four.

Robson will now meet fourth seed Urszula Radwanska as she looks to become the first British woman to reach a WTA singles final since Jo Durie in 1990.

The 18-year-old recently made headlines at the US Open with her route through to the fourth round of the Grand Slam.

However, she was eventually beaten by defending champion Samantha Stosur.
