Victoria Azarenka's 18-match winning streak at the Australian Open ended in an 1-6, 7-5, 0-6 quarterfinal loss to Agnieszka Radwanska here Wednesday.

Fifth-seeded Radwanska ended a streak of three consecutive quarterfinal defeats at the Australian Open with a stunning display of versatile shot-making that confused the big-hitting defending champion, reports Xinhua.

She next plays 20th seed Dominika Cibulkova, who beat 11th seeded Romanian Simona Halep 6-3, 6-0 in another quarterfinal tie.

Azarenka's loss leaves 2011 French Open champion Li Na as the only major winner remaining in the women's draw.

Li Na will play 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard in the other semifinal.
