Two-time finalist
Li Na
raced into a fourth Melbourne semi-final as she produced a ruthless display against Pennetta.
The fourth seed from China broke the Italian in the first game of the match, following it up with two more to lead the first set 5-0.
Pennetta, the 28th seed, stopped the rot with a break of her own but Li still took the opener 6-2.
And the second set was equally one-sided as Li eased to a 6-2 6-2 victory.
Li said her belief that she can repeat her final appearances of 2011 and 2013 has been growing ever since she recovered from being on the brink of defeat in the third round against Lucie Safarova.
"I've got a lot of confidence because I was match point down and I came back to win that match," said the 31-year-old. "I believe in myself even more. I hope I can take one more step this year."
