In her first tournament since being tripped up at this stage during last year¡¯s U.S. Open, the world No. 1 and defending Australian Open champion sprinted by No. 4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-0, 6-4.
Her reward is a ticket into a seventh final here ¨C a stage in which she¡¯s never lost at in Melbourne, six for six ¨C and the chance to equal Steffi Graf¡¯s Open era record of 22 Grand Slam titles.
Standing in her way is Graf's countrywoman, Angelique Kerber, the No. 7 seed advancing to her first-ever Grand Slam final with a victory later Thursday afternoon.
