RadioOnFire.com - Serena Williams and Venus Williams will meet in the Australian Open Final. It's the 9th time the sisters will face off in a Grand Slam final.
Beating 25-year-old CoCo Vandeweghe in a three-set semifinal, Venus became the oldest Australian Open singles finalist of the Open era at 36-years-old.
In Thursday's second semifinal, Serena was aware that Venus had won her match, and looks forward to facing her after beating Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.
“She’s my toughest opponent,” said Serena Williams, who holds a 16-11 edge in the sister rivalry. “No one has ever beaten me as much as Venus has. She has a pretty good record against me, and we have a good record against each other. I just feel like, no matter what happens, we’ve won. She’s been through a lot, and I’ve been through a lot. And to see her come back and do so well is great.”
“I look forward to it,” she said of the final. “A Williams is going to win the tournament.”
