Serena Williams To Play Sister Venus In Australian Open final
World no 2 Serena Williams, 35, moved one step closer to a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title Thursday by setting up an Australian Open final against her sister, Venus.
The exceptional player proved one step too far for Croat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, whose tournament ended in a crushing 6-2, 6-1 defeat on Rod Laver Arena.
Serena is attempting to win an Open-era record 23rd Grand Slam singles title, while Venus hopes to win an eighth major title, first in Melbourne and first since Wimbledon in 2008.
Long awaited final…
