Despite that spell at the top of the world rankings, Wozniacki has only ever reached one previous Grand Slam final, at this tournament in 2009 when she was beaten by Kim Clijsters. In the longest rally of the match so far, Wozniacki turns defence into attack and puts away a volley at the net, but the advancing Peng shows aggression of her own for 30-30. Danger for the Dane, averted with a remarkable squatting forehand (played from the crouching position of a wicketkeeper) and a kicking ace.
