World number one Tennis player, Serena Williams defeated her older sister,
Venus, to win 6-2 1-6 6-3 and reach the semi-finals in New York.
Serena,
33, will play unseeded Italian Roberta Vinci in the last four on Thursday.
The
American could become the first player to win all four majors in the same year
since Steffi Graf in 1988.
Venus,
35, was playing in the fourth round at Flushing Meadows for the first time
since 2010, but threatened to derail her sister's grand ambitions.
The
23rd seed battled back to force a final set, only to see younger sister Serena
capitalise on an early service break and claim her 33rd straight win at the
Slams.
The
Williams sisters had played each other 26 times on the professional circuit,
but their 27th contest was as highly anticipated as any.See more pictures form the tournament.
