( CNN ) -- Eugenie Bouchard has already established herself as the new face of women 's tennis -- and now she 's just two wins away from claiming her maiden grand slam title . The 20-year-old , who is set to move up to No.8 in the world following her 6-3 6-4 win over Germany 's Angelique Kerber , will equal the best ever ranking held by a Canadian on the women 's tour . Bouchard , who reached the semifinals of both the Australian and French Opens earlier this year , saw off Kerber to set up a semifinal clash with Romania 's Simona Halep . World No.3 Halep -- the highest ranked player remaining in the tournament , won the only meeting between the pair Indian Wells earlier in 2014 . `` It was definitely a tough battle , '' Bouchard told the tournament 's official website following her victory . `` I 've played her a few times and it 's always been really tough . I knew it was n't over and I just kept trying to fight . `` I was trying to stay in the moment , I knew I could n't think ahead , I 've been working on that . I hit a good few aggressive shots , so I just tried to play my game . '' Halep , who was beaten in the final of the French Open by Maria Sharapova , cruised through to the last four with a straight sets win over Germany 's Sabine Lisicki . Romania 's Halep , 22 , started slowly , losing the first three games before hitting back to take the first set 6-4 . And she stormed through the second -- taking it 6-0 after winning 11 consecutive games . `` It was a good match . I had a slower start today and she had 4-1 and then I came back very well , '' Halep told the BBC . `` I was really enjoying myself , it was incredible on Centre Court . It was my second time here and I really enjoy every moment . '' Bouchard and Halep will meet on Thursday for the right to play either Lucie Safarova or Petra Kvitova in Saturday 's final .
