Li Na becomes the first Chinese player to make it to a Grand Slam final, as she kicked out world No.1 Catholine Wozniacki 3-6, 7-5, 6-3 in Thursday's semifinal of Australia Open.

The Chinese woman spent two hours and 34 minutes to end Wozniacki's bid to win a title in Australian Open for the first time.

In the beginning of second set, the world No.1's consistency impressed, with Li hit 32 unforced errors throughout the set to virtually gift the Danish lead on 4-2. However, Li slowly got use to her opponent's pace, and managed fight back and win the tight set 7-5 in 65 minutes.

Third set begins with all excitements, with the pair looks to have staged their best performance, not allowing each other to win each game. Li then managed to convert her only match point to end the game.

"I am so happy, to become the first Chinese player to make it to a Grand Slam final," Li told reporters in Melbourne after the match. "I'll always be the first one."

The 28-year-old Li has become a crowd favorite in Australian Open with highly talented and professional manner on the court to crash out her opponents. And after the game she turns to a nice, smart lady with quick wit and sharp sense of humor.

Li then went on to admit that this semifinal match was a bit nervous for her, as she did not have good sleep last night because of her husband's snoring.
