Williams Final Again

Once again Venus and Serena Williams power their way through to another Grand Slam Final. This marking their fourth consecutive final appearance in a Slam. They've battled their way through injury scares and nearly losing but they've done it again. Serena who struggled in her first round match and seemed as if she wouldn't make it through that match nevermind getting a final place.

Serena who didn't play last year due to injury as only ever got to the Quarter-Finals 2001, losing to Martina Hingis in a 3-set battle could see herself holding all 4 Grand Slams which hasn't been achieved since Steffi Graf.

With her fantastic tustle with Kim Clijsters in the semi-final which could hit her into peak form ready for her final berth against sister Venus.

Venus who for only one match appeared with her knee plastered has been in brilliant form all the way through and may believe she can stop sister Serena winning a 'Serena Slam'. The elder sister hasn't dropped a set throughout the tournament beating Hantuchova and Henin both in straight sets stamped her authority from day one.

Venus whose best was a semi-final also in 2001 and also losing to Martina Hingis which is her worst professional loss to date seems a different player to those days. Serena picked Venus to win the tournament, but Venus probably picked Serena aswell and I think Venus will win the Australian Open this coming Saturday due to extra pressure on sister for the slam.
