Naomi Osaka claimed an impressive victory over Serena Williams to reach the Australian Open final.

The loss ended William’s latest quest for a record-equaling 24th Grand Slam title.

Three-time Slam champion Osaka withstood early pressure from Williams to win 6-3 6-4.

Osaka is on a 20-match unbeaten streak and has never lost a Slam final.

The Japanese will face Jennifer Brady in Saturday’s final after the American beat Karolina Muchova 6-4 3-6 6-4 to seal a spot in her first Grand Slam final.
