Built-up like a major heavyweight fight and with a celebrity audience to match, Venus Williams tried to halt her sister Serena’s march towards history.
And like everyone else at the US Open so far she failed, but not before she made her younger sibling ride the emotional big dipper in the course of a sharply undulating 6-2 1-6 6-3 victory
At nearly 34 Serena is now two matches away from becoming the fourth woman to do the calendar year Grand Slam, and she could hardly have a more comfortable looking task in the last four, in the shape of unseeded Italian Roberta Vinci.
