Bianca Andreescu says she's still "living the dream" after reaching the ASB Classic final.

The dream lives on for Canada's Bianca Andreescu.

The 18-year-old world No 152 defeated the third seed Hsieh Su-Wei 6-3 6-3 on Saturday to set up a showdown against Germany's Julia Goerges on Sunday night.

Andreescu has been the talk of this tournament with her wins over Caroline Wozniacki and Venus Williams in the last two rounds.

Some players can get to a final by getting a fortunate draw, managing to avoid the top players.

But that certainly couldn't be said of Andreescu, who's beat the No 1, 6 and 3 seeds in her past three matches and also come through the qualifying draw.

HANNAH PETERS/GETTY IMAGES Canadian teenager Bianca Andreescu is riding a seven-match winning streak at the ASB Classic.

If she goes on to also beat the No 2 seed on Sunday, no-one could ever argue that she didn't deserve this title.

Andreescu admitted to feeling the affects of an emotional week as she enters her first WTA final. The adrenaline of her thrilling upsets kept her up until 3am the previous two nights.

But if there is one thing she is not lacking in it's belief.

"I'm just going to try and do what I did this whole week. I wasn't really expecting to get this far but now I've beaten a couple of top players so my confidence is there, that's for sure," Andreescu said.

"I know I have nothing to lose, this is my first WTA 250 [final] so I'm just going to try and enjoy every moment.

HANNAH PETERS/GETTY IMAGES Defending champion Julia Goerges has played better tennis as the ASB Classic tournament has gone on.

"I really don't want to think about [winning] but it's hard not to. It would be a dream come true. I've been working so hard for this moment and it's really finally happening."

Andreescu got off to a stunning start, winning five games in a row to go up 5-1 in the opening set.

She then lost two straight games but broke her opponent for the set.

The march continued for Andreescu in the second set and she had a match point with Hsieh serving at 2-5, but put the return into the net.

But in the next game she got herself into a position for two more set points and with the first of them Hsieh went too long with a backhand.

Earlier, Goerges stormed her way into a successive Classic final by beating Viktoria Kuzmova 6-1 7-6.

The German second seed had only shown patches of herself during the defence of her title, but in the first set against the Slovakian, she reached her peak, playing some incredible tennis.

The first signs of life from Kuzmova came when she was down 0-40 and 5-0 in the opening set.

Kuzmova went on a run to win five points in a row and at least was able to get on the board.

The second set ended up going to a tiebreak. Goerges had two match points at 6-4 but blew both of them with some poor tennis.

But with the next point she ripped a winner and on her third matchpoint Kuzmova cracked a return straight into the net.

"I played pretty aggressive, overall it was a pretty good match from my side," Goerges said of her match.

"In the second set I stepped away a bit from my line and I wasn't as aggressive as I wanted to be, because in the first set she was behind the baseline and I was more in the court.

"I tried to do that in the second as well, but I was too passive for my ways. I was still aggressive, but not aggressive as much as I wanted to be."

As for the incredible run the little known Andreescu has made in the tournament, Goerges said it's not something she'll be focusing on.

"Everybody deserves their spot in the final, so she has played some terrific tennis," Goerges said.

"She's beat some really good players and this was probably the strongest draw the ASB Classic has had in the women's game here.

"I'm not focusing on my opponent, that's what I always say. I want to have it in my hands, I want to play my game and that's it."
