MELBOURNE, Australia \u2013Venus Williams held up her end of the deal for another all-sisters Australian Open final with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-3 win over CoCo Vandeweghe, becoming the oldest player to reach the final of the tournament in the Open era.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old Williams is back in a Grand Slam final for the first time since Wimbledon in 2009 and her first here since 2003, when she lost to her younger sister, Serena.<\/p>\n

She could get a chance to avenge that loss \u201322-time major winner Serena Williams was playing 34-year-old Mirjana Lucic-Baroni later Thursday for a spot in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means so much, mostly because she played so well.<\/p>\n

I mean, she played so unbelievable,\u201d Williams said of the 25-year-old Vandeweghe, who was playing her first major semifinal. \u201cTo be able to get through the final from a match like this \u2013I’m excited about American tennis as well.<\/p>\n

Williams needed four match points on Vandeweghe’s serve in the last game before converting. Then she put both hands on her face, almost in surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s more than a cherry on top,\u201d she said. \u201cIt’s more than I dreamed of.\u201d<\/p>\n
