Simona Halep has qualify for the final round of the Australian Open, after another big match made in front of the german player Angelique Kerber.
The summary of the game:
MELBOURNE, Australia - For the second time this fortnight, World No.1 Simona Halep saved multiple match points en route to a victory, this time saving a pair to defeat former champion Angelique Kerber in a classic semifinal, 6-3, 4-6, 9-7.
From 5-3 up in the final set, Halep found her back against the wall, as Kerber won three games in the row to toe the line for the match at 6-5. The German built a 40-15 lead on serve, but Halep bounced back and broke serve, before edging through to victory in a two hour, 20-minute classic.
The semifinal victory marked the second time Halep has saved match points this fortnight, as she also came back from the brink in a third-round victory over Lauren Davis which went to 15-13 in the final set.
In the interview at the end of the game, world no.1 Simona says:
"It was very tough, I am shaking now.She's a very tough opponent, moving well and hitting from everywhere. It's not easy winning two such long matches in the same tournament.I just had confidence in myself, I told myself to fight for every point and then rest afterwards. I tried to stay calm but today I was like a roller coaster. I didn't give up though and, if you don't give up, you can win matches. I am proud of myself."
In the final, Simona Halep will fight for the trophy with no.2 WTA, Caroline Wozniacki.
Usually i don't watch the tennis matches, but when Simona Halep starts to play tennis shows a lot of determination, submit a lot of effort, and i like when people give the best of them and make a wonderful job. By the way, the match of this morning was unbelievable. I hope that Simona will win her first grand slem trophy in this final.
