The Chinese tennis player
Zheng Qinwen
, number 15 in the WTA ranking, will face the Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the Australian Open, after her victory on Thursday in the semifinals against the Ukrainian
Dayana Yastremska
(N.93) by a double 6-4 in Melbourne.
Zheng Qinwen, who will play in her first Grand Slam final, stopped the dreams of Yastremska, who had reached the semifinals after going through the previous qualifying phase of the tournament.
In the final, Qinwen will face Sabalenka, world number 2 and current champion of the title, who for her part beat the American Coco Gauff in the other semifinal played hours before.
