Just watched Halep and Kerber play a sick semifinal match at the Australian Open with an intense atmosphere. Halep won 9-7 in the 3rd, but Kerber played great as well and easily could have came out on top. Definitely one of the best matches Iโve ever been to

That #KerberVsHalep match was one hell of a thriller. Really glad that I watched it. A much deserving win for @Simona_Halep. @AngeliqueKerber fought hard but today's not her day.

My goodness, that was some fiery tennis we ever witnessed. What a brilliant match...Incredible two women who fought like real warriors, whether saving Mps or holding nerves, this was supreme from both Halep and Kerber.
