"With Serena still in contention -- the 22-time grand slam winner meets Britain`s Johanna Konta in her quarterfinal on Wednesday -- a first all-Williams grand slam final since 2009 Wimbledon looms. Melbourne (CNN) Venus Williams` morning didn`t go as planned. "Despite not appearing in a grand slam final for eight years -- and an Australian Open final in 14 years -- Williams` winning mindset hasn`t wavered. She is, after all, ranked 35th and will be contesting her first grand slam semifinal. "It`s crazy to think how long she has played," Witt told CNN as Williams cooled down in the player gym.
