In another semi-finals clash, Flavia Pennetta defeated Simona Halep 6-1 6-3 to reach the final of the Grand Slam.
“I didn’t think to be so far in the tournament,” Pennetta was quoted as saying by usopen.org.
“It’s amazing to be here today. I don’t know how to handle all the pressure I have, but I think I played really well," she said.
Following the two victories, all Italian women's final will be held on Sunday.
