Australia's Casey Dellacqua has won through to the Australian Open doubles semi-finals. Dellacqua and Italian Francesca Schiavone overcame a dramatic first set failure to beat German Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Swiss star Patty Schnyder 0-6 7-5 6-1 in their quarter-final.
Seeded 12th, Dellacqua and Schiavone were flat-footed in the first set but after levelling the match, found their rhythm and exploited Groenefeld and Schnyder's defensive game to break serve effortlessly in the deciding set.
The result went some way towards making up for Dellacqua's first round exit in the singles.
