Serena Williams is into the Australian Open final against sister Venus!

Serena Williams defeats Mirjana Lučić-Baroni 6-2, 6-1

With one final break of serve Serena Williams has booked herself an Australian Open final date against her sister Venus, a quite remarkable turn of events. Serena won this won 6-2, 6-1 in just 50 minutes of almost faultless tennis, breaking one final time to seal it and just blowing her opponent away.

Watch: Serena Williams just masterfully defended herself against a manipulative reporter and gave us all a world class lesson in self love at the same time

There are 101 ways this exchange could’ve gone differently. However, Williams’ concise directive, “You should apologize,” did more than demand kindness. It demanded accountability for rudeness. Well done. This is truly the perfect lesson in “How to respond to respond rude people in 2017.”
