Serena storms into Australian Open semis
Jan 25, 2017
Serena Williams has reached the semi-finals of the Australian Tennis Open for the eighth time, after defeating Johanna Konta in straight sets.
Williams credited Konta for a match well played:
"She has been playing so well... she won Sydney, she has been cleaning up her matches. I was in the locker room watching her win, and she has been doing so well, she is for sure a future champ here and i was just happy to get thru that"
If Serena clinches the Australian open title, it would assure her of a return to world number one in place of Angelique Kerber.
