Serena  Williams drew level with Germany's Steffi Graff on 22 Grand Slams when she claimed her 7th Wimbledon title in 2016, but lost in the 2016 US Open semi-finals to Czech Karolina Pliskova.

A 7th title at Melbourne Park would add further credit to her claim as the greatest of all time, despite being one short of Australia's Margaret Court, whose 24 major titles were split between the amateur and professional eras.

Venus Williams failed to reach a single Grand Slam quarter-final between 2011 and 2014 as she battled injuries and Sjogren's syndrome, an auto-immune disease that causes fatigue and joint pain.

Now, however, Venus Williams is enjoying a late resurgence, backing up her run to the last four at Wimbledon six months ago by going one step further here.

Serena Williams would regain the world number one ranking from 2016 champion Angelique Kerber if she wins the title, while Venus Williams would move back into the top 10 if she wins on Saturday
