London: The top four seeds in the women's draw have reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon, but the line-up for the final is already being predicted.
Most people are saying an all-Williams showdown is on the cards yet again with both Venus and Serena having reached the semi-finals without even conceding a single set.
As sister Serena went about destroying Victoria Azarenka in the quarter-finals, Venus sat in the stands cheering.
The Williams family was in full force to watch the younger sibling force her way into the semis.
Between them Venus and Serena have seven singles crowns at Wimbledon and an eighth seems inevitable.
"I am so lucky and blessed to have such a good coach in my dad and mom. They have tough us this game," says Serena about her parents.
But the final line-up isn't sealed yet. To continue her 19-match winning streak at Wimbledon, Venus has to overcome world No. 1 Dinara Safina in the semis.
It's odd perhaps that the top ranked player in the world starts as the underdog but despite the aura of her five crowns at Wimbledon, Venus is taking it one step at a time.
"I am in the court to challenge anyone who is across the net. But if I play Safina then... more of the same stuff I have been doing. That's all I can predict," says Venus about her semi-final match.
The inevitable question about Venus versus Serena final does come up.
"I am definitely taking one round at a time. Being in the semi-finals is obviously where I want to be right now and I would love it to be Williams' final. So would she. That will be great," hopes Venus.
The sisters have played each other 20 times with both winning 10 matches each. So will Saturday bring another Williams family party to the hallowed turf at SW 19.
