Just hope Jo has nerves of steel and enough positive energy to beat Serena
But it's now more looking likely that we could see a Venus V Serena final

^ You can Coco
Miss Vandeweghe has beaten better players than Venus in reaching the semi's

Jo Konta heads into her quarter final against Serena in good form.
Having never played her before there is no psychological scar of defeat by her in the past either. Jo can go into the match with a vibrant, philosophical, no fear approach which is useful. Give it everything and see what happens.
If she wins she will be a hero and if she loses nobody will bat an eyelid as Serena is the favourite to win anyway.
Konta has everything to gain and relatively little to lose aside from one rounds worth of ranking points she is defending from last years semi final berth.

I hope it will be a Federer v Nadal final, it will be just like old times

I think Jo has a good chance against Serena

Alas it all came to an end as Serena played extremely well and beat Konta 6-2 6-3.

So it's going to be an all Williams final.

I'll miss that exibition match

told you mate
the way Venus was playing she was more than determined to have one last shot at an Aussie title

Well, Serena won.

Suppose with that whole #17 angle, Federer was probably on course for his win, and maybe the last chance for he and Nadal to make a Grand Slam Final, and a great one for them both to deliver.
