Venus Williams is into the semi-finals of the Australian Open for the first time in 14 years.
She carved out victory over Russia's Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova notching up a straight sets win 6-4 7-6 (7-3) in the first of the quarter-finals.
The 36-year-old American has never won the title, her best finish was as a runner-up to her sister Serena in 2003.
Williams now goes on to face unseeded American Coco Vandeweghe, who trounced Spain's seventh seed Garbine Muguruza 6-4 6-0.
