Second-seeded Victoria Azarenka moved a win away from a possible showdown in the US Open finals with Serena Williams, beating Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 6-3 on Wednesday in the quarterfinals.

And at 24 years young, Azarenka can claim something very few of the more experienced players can - a formula for beating Williams.

She is the only woman under the age of 30 to make the final four at Flushing Meadows this year.
