Teenage tennis sensation Eugenie Bouchard is seeking to become the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final as her giant killing quest continues at the Australian Open.

The 19-year-old is the talk of the tennis world after upsetting former world number one Ana Ivanovic in the quarter-finals, she now faces 31-year-old veteran Li Na in today's semi-finals.

Na, the only Grand Slam winner among the last four, has played two of the last three finals in Melbourne, and Bouchard knows she'll need a special performance to make history.

Polish fifth seed Agnieszka Radwanska plays Slovakian 20th seed Dominika Cibulkova in today's second semi-final.
