Serena Williams seals 18th straight win against Maria Sharapova

Female tennis world number one, Serena Williams edged out world number five Maria Sharapova for an 18th straight time as she cruised into the 2016 Australian Open semi-finals.

The six-time Australian Open champion on Tuesday out-muscled her long-time Russian rival 6-4, 6-1 in a match that the bookies called in favour of the American.

Serena will meet 4th seed Agnieszka Radwanska for a place in the final as she moves closer to matching Steffi Graf’s Open-era grand slam record of 22 titles.

Sharapova’s last win against Serena dates back to 2004 when she beat her in the Wimbledon final.
