MELBOURNE, Australia – 22-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams put on an efficient display against Mirjana Lucic-Baroni, winning, 6-2, 6-1 to book her eighth Australian Open final appearance, where she’ll play sister Venus Williams in the first all-Williams final in Melbourne since 2003.

Lucic-Baroni had been the story of the tournament, knocking out two of the Top 5 seeds in Agnieszka Radwanska and Brisbane International champion Karolina Pliskova, but it was clear from the outset that the match up against the World No.2 – their first since 1998 – favored the American’s more consistent firepower on Wednesday.

Serena Williams estuvo contundente ante Mirjana Lucic-Baroni con parciales de 6-2 y 6-2 para avanzar a su octava final del Abierto de tenis de Australia, donde se medira a su heremana Venus, en la primera final entre las hermanas Williams desde el 2003.

Lucia-Baroni, dejo una gran historia en el torneo, habiendo sacado a 2 de las top five Agnieszka Radwanska y Karolina Pliskova, pero no pudo ante la numero dos del mundo, a quien se media por primera vez desde 1998.
