Victoria Azarenka will take on Serena Williams in an all-star semi-final at the Brisbane International

Azarenka, Williams to face off

Azarenka, last year’s Australian Open champion and a winner of this tournament in 2009, made light work of quarter-final opponent Ksenia Pervak, beating the Kazakh player 6-1, 6-0.

Pervak knocked out former World No 1 Caroline Wozniacki in the first round but had no answer to the current rankings leader as she made a rapid exit.


Awaiting Azarenka in the last four is third seed Williams, the reigning Wimbledon and Olympic champion, who is eyeing a fifth Australian Open title later this month.
