These are the four women who have survived all the stunning upsets that have been happening in the women's game this fortnight - and all are playing at the top of their game, without anyone dropping a set in their quarterfinal matches.
One interesting characteristic about them is that three of them are French Open champions, with only Sofia Kenin as the greenhorn. So even with all the upsets, the depth of women's tennis is still wide enough to cast a net of three former and current grand slam champions.
Local darling Ashleigh Barty will square off with American Sofia Kenin. Barty has been handling the pressure of being the first Australian woman in 40 years to reach the final here - and she has a very good chance of getting there - as Kenin is fairly a newbie this deep in a grand slam. Experience may help Barty win their match.
Simona Halep has been to the final here and she gets another shot later today - against Garbine Muguruza of Spain, her fellow French Open champion. It would be interesting to see the two play as Garbine is known for her aggressive play and Simona is more of a counterpuncher.
I will be gunning for a Barty-Halep final. Let's see how it unfolds!
