Australian Open: Simona Halep & Caroline Wozniacki battle for first Grand Slam

Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki will meet in Saturday's Australian Open final with both women hoping to finally win a first Grand Slam title.

The top two seeds make their Melbourne final debuts at 08:30 GMT.

Also at stake is the number one ranking - and Denmark's Wozniacki, 27, would overtake 26-year-old Romanian Halep with a victory.

It is the first time in the Open era both Grand Slam finalists have saved match points en route to the final.

Halep saw off three against Lauren Davis in the third round - eventually winning 15-13 in the final set - and then saved another two against Angelique Kerber as she won the semi-final 9-7 in the decider.
