Serena Williams Beats Johanna Konta in Australian Open Quarter-Final
Serena Williams
Melbourne - Arab Today
Serena Williams ended Johanna Konta's bid for a maiden Grand Slam title and kept alive her own hopes of a 23rd with a 6-2 6-3 Australian Open quarter-final victory.
Williams produced her most complete display of the tournament combining her fearsome serve with trademark power hitting to join her sister Venus in the semi-final in Melbourne - the first time in a Grand Slam two players over the age of 35 have reached the last four.
The 35-year-old American fired down 10 aces and blasted 25 winners in a 75-minute display that looked ominous for the remaining three contenders for the women's title and also kept alive the possibility of an all-Williams Grand Slam final for the first time since 2009.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
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" opens 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.
