Li Na Upsets Caroline Wozniacki, First Chinese Player in Major Final

Filed under: Australian Open, WTA

In a match of constant momentum changes, No. 9 seed Li Na upset top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki at the Australian Open on Thursday 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 to advance into the women's final. Wozniacki had match point in the 10th game of the second set, but was unable to convert during her service game.

Na becomes the first Chinese player to advance into a singles major and seeks to become the first Asian-born player to win a Grand Slam singles title on Saturday. Na will face Kim Clijsters who defeated Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-3 Thursday in the other Australian Open semifinal.
