The Australian Open is still well underway and yesterday saw Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova 6-4 6-1.

The Russian tennis star started the match strong, but was unable to keep her momentum.

After the game, Sharapova commented on what's next for her.

"I'm going to go and take care of my forearm first. I think that's really important. I'm going to go to Moscow, be part of the team. I don't think I'll be playing. Then I'm not sure. But I think this will be a time to just get myself ready for a long year. I don't see myself playing anything before Indian Wells."

The injured arm and an 18th consecutive loss to Williams has left Sharapova frustrated following the recent tournament events.

The last time Sharapova was able to win against WIlliams was 12 years ago, in 2004.

Up next for Williams will be a match against fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the last four.

and on the Men's court:

Novak Djokovic has breezed past his match against Japan's Kei Nishikori with a 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

This is his 37th win in 38 matches at this tournament.

The win has set up a semifinal clash between the Serbian and Roger Federer.

Ahead of their game, Federer commented on how he intends to play Djokovic

"You have to play the right way, it's normal that you'll be passed at the net, it's fine, as long as it's me who attacks, it's me who manages the game, if you want. I can take that. I can't take it if I'm useless on second serve returns like it happened in London, I can't accept that and I will have to do better than that. Then I have to focus on my service games, this way you can put pressure on Novak."

Other matches for the men's semifinals will be played today when David Ferrer and Andy Murray face-0ff.

Also Canadian Milos Roanic will play Gael Monfils for a chance at the Semi's

And for Chinese tennis star Zhang Shuai,

She will play today against Johanna Konta of Great Britain.

The match will kick-off around 12:30 Melbourne time.
