VENUS.
THE DREAM.#ausopen pic.twitter.com/zWfxtgxvzn
Serena sums it up succinctly: "A Williams is going to win this tournament."
That's a great sight
Mirjana Lucic-Baroni takes a moment to get a selfie with the crowd in the background! What a story for her! What a wonderful achievement to get this far.
GAME, SET, MATCH
What an obliteration. Serena's into the final ....55 minutes
Phew! End within sight
5-1 to Serena Williams, second set. C'mon Mirjana, hold one more serve!
An 'insurance hold' for Serena
Serena Williams now leads 4-1, second set. Eighteen minutes in .... this is whirlwind tennis.
It's 3-1 to Serena
There's still a chance Serena Williams will close it out before the 6'o'clock news ...
Another break
Serena Williams leads 2-1 in the second set. Already up one set to love.
1-1 in the second set
A very strong service game from Serena Williams. Concedes just one point. There's a certain inevitability about this semi.
Back to topSecond set: Lucic-Baroni leads 1-0
First game to the Croatian this set. Nice to see.
How good was this?
This woman just won a Major semi. But also a Top Model pose down, a drag ball vogue fight, and maybe even a Showcase Showdown. pic.twitter.com/p4UYYUetza

Serena to serve for the set
It's a warm Australian Day in Melbourne. A dream result for tournament promoters, Williams v Williams on Saturday night, is within sight.

Gee, that was handy. We don't want to see a whitewash on centre court. Serena leads 5-2
