Serena eases into Australian Open final, to face Kerber

World No. 1, Serena Williams,
has booked her place in the final
of the 2016 Australian Open
where she would face Angelique
Kerber, who downed
Englishwoman, Johanna Konta.
Williams is seeking a 22nd Grand
Slam title in this her seventh
final in Australia and her 26t
Grand Slam final.
She easily dismissed the threat of
Agnieska Radwanska 6-0 6-4 in
just over an hour, after she
breezed through the first set in
just 20 minutes.
Afterwards, Radwanska said in a
court-side interview that she
does not believe anyone at the
moment can beat Williams.
“She goes on court and she just
wants to kill it. There was just no
mistake,” Radwanska said.
“Unbelievable serve. Everything,
she was going for it. Yeah, I
couldn’t do much. Not at all,
actually. I don’t think anyone can
really play on that kind of level at
all.”
For Williams, Saturday will be
another opportunity to equal Stefi
Graf’s record haul of Grand Slam
titles and she said she is just
excited to be in another final.
“I’m really excited to be in
another final.
“It just kind of blows my mind right now. I
just feel like I’m playing the best I can and I
can’t believe I’m in the final,” Williams
added.
In the final, she will be confronted by
Angelique Kerber, who dashed British hopes
of sending a woman to the final in over 60
years as she defeated Konta 7-5 6-2 grab a first
ever grand slam final appearance.
Seeded seventh for this championship, Kerber
will need to play above her best to stand any
chance against Williams on Saturday.
