 Robson is the fifth seed in Melbourne
|
Britain's Laura Robson remains on track for her second junior Grand Slam title after beating Noppawan Lertcheewakarn to reach the Australian Open final.
The 15-year-old came through a tight first set against the top seed before wrapping up a 6-4 6-3 win.
The match - a repeat of the 2008 Wimbledon final which Robson also won - was delayed by several hours to allow the temperature to drop.
Robson will meet Russian third seed Ksenia Pervak in the final.
Pervak ended the hopes of Guernsey's Heather Watson in Thursday's quarter-finals before beating Ana Bogdan in the other semi-final.
Britain's only representative in the boy's singles, James Chaudry, was beaten 6-1 2-6 6-3 by Cheng-Peng Hsieh, the 15th seed from Chinese Taipei, in round one earlier in the week.
