She just won another bout against her achnemesis in Maria Sharapova, and her path towards another Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup appears as clear as ever.<\/p>\n<p>However, Agnieszka Radwanska stands in her way in the semifinal round and is in terrific shape just as well.

The superstar out of Palm Beach has now won 18-consecutive matches against Sharapova, and also her 12<sup>th<\/sup>-straight contest in Melbourne Park.<\/p>\n<p>[sc:Other240banner ]Key to Williams\u2019 victory that day was her powerful serve, as she dealt a staggering 18 aces against her rival. The 34-year-old also efficiently converted eight of her 11 attempts at points on net to keep her hopes of a seventh Aussie Open title alive.<\/p>\n<p>Although this is the only tournament that Williams has participated in since her crushing loss at the semifinal round of last year\u2019s US Open, she has been flat out dominant Down Under without missing a step. All of her victories in this event has come in straight sets, with her opponents managing to muster up just one game won in the 10 sets that she has played thus far.<\/p>\n<p>The best women\u2019s tennis player in the world will now face off against Agnieszka Radwanska for the ninth time in her career. Williams has had relative ease in dispatching Radwanska before, having won all eight previous contests. Even more, her last five victories against the Pole came on the hard court, and four of those five were also swept in straight sets.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Betting on Agnieszka Radwanska<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Agnieszka-Radwanska.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-92730\" title=\"Serena-Williams-vs-Agnieszka-Radwanska-Preview-2016-Australian-Open\" alt=\"Serena Williams vs. Agnieszka Radwanska Preview \u2013 2016 Australian Open\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Agnieszka-Radwanska.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Agnieszka-Radwanska.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Agnieszka-Radwanska-250x156.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Could this be Agneszka Radwanska\u2019s breakout year? She certainly has lived up to her lofty expectations so far after winning last year\u2019s WTA Finals, alright.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Radwanska coasted towards her fifth career Grand Slam semifinal berth by ousting Spain\u2019s Carla Suarez Navarro, 6-1, 6-3, in just 82 minutes. The Polish star committed just 13 unforced errors to Suarez Navarro\u2019s 45, converted six of her 12 break-point opportunities, and put in 69 percent of her first serves in play for the win.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more promising about Radwanska\u2019s 2016 run apart from her blemish-free record in 10 matches is how she has been winning her contests. She cruised through Shenzhen earlier this month for her first title of the year by winning all five matches in straight sets, and only one of her matches here in Melbourne went to the deciding third set.<\/p>\n<p>Although she has yet to triumph over her Williams in eight previous occasions, it\u2019s worth noting that Radwanska&#8217;s semifinal opponent&#8217;s last win against her was back in 2013. This Thursday\u2019s clash is also their first meeting at the Australian Open, which gives the World No. 4 much more optimism to finally get over that daunting Serena hump.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Williams deals another straight-sets annihilation, 6-2, 6-3.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join TopBet Sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> to cash in from all the exciting men\u2019s and women\u2019s semifinal matches at the 2016 Australian Open.<\/p>\n[sc:AUS15-620 ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"92727\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,588&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[sc:AUS15-250 ]Did we really expect anything less from Serena Williams here at the 2016 Australian Open?
