NEW YORK adidas nmd pas cher femme , Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- American CoCo Vandeweghe reached the US Open semifinals on Wednesday, knocking out world number one Karolina Pliskova in straight sets.

The 20th seed Vandeweghe took an emphatic 7-6 (4), 6-3 win against the Czech Republic's Pliskova adidas nmd pas cher , who will hand the number one spot to Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza after staying just eight weeks on the top of the rankings.

Vandeweghe's victory means that the US Open will possibly have an all-American semifinal lineup for the first time since 1981 if Madison Keys can overcome Estonia's Kaia Kanepi later on Wednesday. American veteran Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens have already set up an all-American semifinal in the bottom half in the previous day.

"I won the juniors here when I was 16 and dreamed of playing on the real stage," said 25-year-old Vandeweghe.

Pliskova, who had to save a match point to beat China's Zhang Shuai in the second round adidas eqt 93/17 pas cher , needed to fight back from breaks down in both sets to keep her challenge alive.

But Vandeweghe can pull away with her powerful groundstrokes every time the Czech posed a threat. Vandeweghe hit 24 winners compared to just 15 from Pliskova. The American also powered five aces on the way to her impressive victory.

BEIJING， March 26 (Xinhua) -- "There is a Chinese saying -- there are no unqualified students， but only unqualified teachers. Sometimes I feel I'm an unqualified teacher. What do you suggest， professor?"

A vocational education teacher from central China's Henan province asked American education expert Walter Huber a question during his lecture here on Sunday.

"Well， you ask this question shows that you are exactly a qualified teacher， a good teacher." Huber answered. Listeners all laughed， nodding.

From March 25 to 26， vocational education experts from the United States and European countries gathered at the 2017 Bainian (Centennial) Vocational Education Workshop， to give diagnosis to the weaknesses of China's vocational training through lectures， seminars and demonstration classes to over 200 secondary vocational school principals and teachers from 14 mid-west Chinese provinces.

Together with representatives from some domestic education research institutes and welfare organizations， participants were actively exploring ways at the two-day workshop to improve the quality of vocational education， so as to better contribute to China's targeted poverty alleviation strategy.

Co-sponsored by China Development Research Foundation (CDRF)， Citi Funds， Hillhouse Funds and Bainian Vocational School， the workshop used Bainian vocational schools in cities like the capital city of Beijing， Lijiang in southwest China's Yunnan Province and Yinchuan in northwest China's Hui Autonomous Region as well as in Angola's capital of Luanda as samples， and discussed highly targeted topics such as teaching quality evaluation， effective teaching， and life skill education.

Chinese and foreign experts also gave demonstration classes on English， horticulture， intelligent building and so on during the workshop.

Zhang Meiying， vice-chairwoman of the 11th CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference) National Committee， said in her opening speech that "vocational education is the cradle of craftsmen."

She pointed out that， poverty alleviation through education， especially targeted poverty alleviation through vocational education， is an important way to serve society and fulfill one's social responsibility.

"Through vocational training， the students from poverty-stricken families will gain the ability of self-development， thus reaching the goal of getting out of poverty，" Zhang says， "In that sense， vocational education serves as an important weapon in the fight against poverty."
