DAY ELEVEN FINAL ROUNDS PLAYER OF THE DAY Angelique Kerber downs Australian-born Brit Johanna Konta 7-5 6-2 to qualify for her first major final. 
KEY MOMENT The first set between Williams and Agnieszka Radwanska was done and dusted in 20 minutes - the tournament's shortest.
STAT OF THE DAY Serena Williams qualfies for her seventh Australian Open final but her first at Melbourne Park without dropping a set. She stands on the brink of history; success in Saturday night's final will be her 22nd major trophy, equalling Steffi Graf for the most Open-era wins.
TOURNAMENT SUMMARY Williams wins through as expected but the bottom half of the draw has produced a surprise in sending Kerber to the women's final. On the evidence of the last fortnight, the German will bring as stiff a challenge as any to the world No 1 - but Williams may need to have an off day for it to be enough.
