Halep, Wozniacki seek first Grand Slam title in the Australian Open final

Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki reached the 2018 Australian Open final, both by saving match points on the way, and will both battle for their first Grand Slam title, a long awaited one, especially for Wozniacki who was the world No.1 player way back in 2010.

After fighting off three match points in a third-round match against Lauren Davis, which went to 15-13 in the deciding set, the top-ranked Halep saved two more to defeat the 2016 champion Angelique Kerber and end the German’s 14-match winning streak in Thursday’s semifinals.
