A double fault by Pliskova gave Kerber set point with the Czech serving at 3-5, and the German closed out the set with another forehand victor to come within one set of her second slam title of the season following her Australian Open win.

Kerber comes into the showdown having stripped Serena Williams of the world No. 1 ranking following her 6-4, 6-3 win over Caroline Wozniacki, while Pliskova is making her maiden appearance in a Grand Slam final.

While we’re happy for Karolina’s great play, she knocked out fan favorite and top ranked Serena Williams, 34, on September 8, shocking tennis fans and denying the superstar a chance at a record 23rd Grand Slam win.

However, one of her few blips in 2016 came recently in Cincinnati when she went down 6-3 6-1 to Pliskova in the final.

Will Kerber earn her second Grand Slam title, or will Pliskova take down two world No. 1 players in the same tournament?

“But at the end I know how I was playing in Cincinnati. I was actually really exhausted because I came from Rio and I had a lot of tough matches there”, Kerber said. You know the young.’ But it feels that he’s the one, who needs to be more serious to prepare for the final. For Pliskova, a win would not only represent the biggest victory of her career, but a chance at technically besting to world No. 1 players in the same tournament, an excellent feather in her cap.

Kerber holds only a slight edge in their head-to-head record, with four victories in their seven matches.

The men’s doubles final will bring up the curtain on Arthur Ashe stadium, with Britain’s Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares taking on Spaniards Pablo Carreno Busta and Guillermo Garcia Lopez. “She was like, ‘Let me be me”.
