"That was a focus of mine. I wanted to go out there and enjoy playing against Angie in such an incredible moment, and regardless of the result, walk off the court knowing that I enjoyed it, I had fun, and I kind of gave it a crack and gave it my all," added Barty.
The 29-year old Pliskova had not lost a set since the first round against Sabalenka, but managed to come back with better serve and patience.
Pliskova admitted that she has never thought about going into the final as her dream was only to advance into the second week, "because I hadn't done that for a while".
Previously, Pliskova only reached a Grand Slam final once where she lost to then world number one Angelique Kerber of Germany at the 2016 US Open.
