Halep needed three sets and an extended third, but she bested the No. 21 seed, Angelique Kerber, 6-3, 4-6, 9-7, to punch her ticket to the final. Wozniacki has played much more dominant tennis than Halep this tournament, and took down her semifinal opponent, Elise Mertens, in straight sets, 6-3, 7-6(2).

Wozniacki is also making her first appearance in the finals at Melbourne, but made it to the finals twice at the US Open, losing both matches.
