Simona Halep
After a rather weak beginning of the game, Simona had a sensational comeback in the match with Pliskova, winning no less than 6 consecutive games (from 0-3 to 6-3), because in the 2nd set to lose only 2 games.
Destiny Aiava, Eugenie Bouchard, Lauren Davis and Naomi Osaka were Halep’s previous “casualties”, losing the set only in the third round.
Romanca is present for the first time in the semifinals of this Grand Slam, after 2014 and 2015 failed to pass the finals quarterfinals.

Angelique Kerber
Despite the fact that 2017 was a fairly modest year for Kerber, with 29 wins in 53 games played, 2018 began in a sensational manner for the nemesis, winning all 14 matches played.
At AO, Friedsam, Vekic, Sharapova, Hsieh and Keys have not managed to put Angelique in great difficulty, Hsieh being the only one who managed to “steal” a set.
The winner of the 2016 edition tries to repeat the performance of that year, considering it is at the second Australian Open final.
