And she has done it! Venus Williams is back in the Australian Open final after 14 years since she lost the title to her sister Serena down under. The 36-year-old fought back after being down first set to beat fellow countrywoman Coco Vandeweghe 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-3 and is ready for a potential all Williams final on Saturday.
Here is how twitter reacted to the win:
