No.2 seed Angelique Kerber will take on No.10 seed Karolina Pliskova in the US Open final, after they defeated Caroline Wozniacki and world No.1 Serena Williams in the Thursday's semis, respectively.
This is quite an unexpected title match, as many people were hoping for Serena Williams to move past the memory of her shocking loss last year to Roberta Vinci. Again this year, Serena did not make it to the final and this time, the lady who surprised everybody was Karolina Pliskova. The Czech defeated Serena in straight sets to reach her first Grand Slam final, but what an opponent she will play!
