Venus and Serena Williams will square off in Saturday’s Australian Open final, making it the ninth time the sisters will meet in a Grand Slam final, and first time since Wimbledon in 2009.
They each won their semi-final match yesterday in Melbourne. Serena comes into the match as the number-two seed, while Venus is a 36-seed. Serena is trying to win her record 23rd Grand Slam title and Venus is trying for her eighth. (USA Today)
Fasho Thoughts:
- Venus is 36-years-old and Serena is 35.
- They’ve faced each other 27 times. Serena leads 16-11.
- In their last final match up, Serena easily defeated Venus in straight sets.
