Norwegian Casper Rudd is the first tennis player from his country to reach the final of any Grand Slam.
The 8th seed has had a fairly easy run to the final, save in the third round.
His campaign began by sending Jo-Wilfried Tsonga packing in a four setter.
Ruud followed it up with a straight set win over Emil Ruusuvuori.
In the next round, the 23 year old found a real challenge in Lorenzo Sonego as he held a 2-1 lead. The Italian pocketed the third set 6-1, but Ruud didn't give up as he kept pushing Sonego who couldn't maintain the intensity. Ruud then bagged the match in five sets.
Ruud then downed Hubert Hurkacz in four sets in the fourth round for a 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 win.
In the quarters, Ruud battled past teenager Holger Rune 6-1, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-3 in an ill-tempered encounter between the young Scandinavians.
In the semis on Friday, Ruud rallied from a set down to beat Croat Marin Cilic 3-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 to set up a title clash against 13-time champion Rafael Nadal.
