Two teenagers have burst into the semi-finals in RG, American Amanda Anisimova defeated the current RG champion Simona Halep in a very confident win, without dropping a set! She looks fearless Shane Fabi! She reminds me of Jelena Ostapenko in '17.
She has a tougher opponent though in Ashleigh Barty, who by rank, is now the favorite to win this slam - a first for Australian women since Stosur's 2010 win.
On the other hand, Czech Marketa Vondrousova defeated the seasoned claycourter Petra Martic, also in another confident display.
She will play a very steady Brit in Johanna Konta who demolished last year's finalist in two sets. Their head to head is even at 1-1 but Konta just defeated Vondrousova in Rome. So it's revenge time for Vondrousova.
The only question now is will the nerves of the teenagers get the best of them when they are finally on the big stage?
Because skills wise, both of them got game.
I am rooting for an Anisimova - Konta final. Let's see how this pans out!
