Zheng Qinwen will face Aryna Sabalenka in the 2024 Australian Open women’s singles final on Saturday.
The Chinese tennis player beat Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska with 6-4, 6-4 straight sets in the semifinals on Thursday.
“It feels unbelievable,” said Zheng, “I’m super-excited to have such a great performance today and arrive in the final. That’s my dream since I was a kid.”
Qinwen became the second women’s player in the Open Era to reach an Australian Open final by defeating six unseeded opponents after Arantxa Sanchez Vicario in 1995.
The 21-year-old will fight for her first Grand Slam title in her maiden major final, while her opponent, the reigning champion Sabalenka, will play for her second major.
