4th seeded Romanian star Simona Halep will look to make it to the finals of Australian Open 2020 where she is set to face her Spanish rival, Garbine Muguruza, in the semifinal match. Muguruza is unseeded in this tournament but has made it to the final 4, riding on her terrific performances in the earlier rounds.
The Spaniard has already knocked out 5th seed Elina Svitolina, 9th seed Kiki Bertens and 30th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in this tournament and now, she would be looking to forward to eliminate the 2018 Australian Open runner-up, Simona Halep from the mix.
Speaking of Halep's journey to the semis, the 28-year-old is yet to drop a set in the new decade's first Grand Slam. She faced three unseeded players in the first three rounds and then eliminated 16th seed Elise Mertens and 28th seed Anett Kontaveit.
The recent form of the two players and the rankings favours Halep in the semifinal. However, the head-to-head record of the two European players stands in the favour of Muguruza. The former French Open winner has won 3 out of her 5 matches against Halep and she has not lost a game versus the Romanian since 2015. Expect this battle to go down to the wire.
