It’s an all-Williams Australia Open final

The pair will play each other for the 2017 Australian Open title on Saturday.

Venus came up against fellow American Coco Vandeweghe in the first of two semi-finals, winning in three sets.

Serena’s match against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni was much less of an epic – the world No.2 won in a walkover, losing only three games in a straight-sets victory.

Two of the most dominant players in the history of the sport and both former world No.1s, Serena and Venus share 29 grand slam singles titles between them and have won a further 14 grand slam titles as a doubles pair.
