Venus Williams Beats CoCo Vandeweghe in Australian Open Semi-Final
Venus Williams
Melbourne - Arab Today
Venus Williams managed a Thursday comeback to set up half of a possible sibling women's final at the Australian Open as she overcame Coco Vandeweghe 6-7 (3-7), 6-2, 6-3.
With the win, Williams reached the 15th grand slam final of her career (seven wins) and her first since finishing runner-up at Wimbledon in 2009 against younger sister, Serena.
The 36-year-old is hoping for the first Australian Open title in her career, after reaching the final of the event in 2003.
Her Saturday final opponent could well be Serena, if the second seed defeats Mirjana Lucic-Baroni of Croatia in the second of the Australia Day holiday semis.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
