Williams Sisters Reach Australian Open Final

By Christian Smith

Venus Williams and her sister Serena will face each other on Saturday.

Both tennis champions made it to the final of the Australian open. It will be the 15th time the sisters have met in Grand Slam play and the ninth time they’ve faced off in a Grand Slam final.

Venus, 36, beat fellow American Coco Vandeweghe 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 6-3 to reach her first major final since 2009, while world number two Serena, 35, saw off unseeded Croat Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-2 6-1 in the second semi-final.
