The Sunday's clash between Venus Williams and Misaki Doi will be first ever match between two opponents.

Venus is also enjoying a spectacular form in this tournament, as she is yet to drop a set.

Although her semi final clash against Yulia Putintseva was a pretty tough one. The former world no 1 had to especially grind in the first set. It was Yulia Putintseva's double fault followed by mishit forehand that presented a break point to Venus Williams. She eventually went on to win the first set 7-5.

The second set, however, was a pretty easy affair for 7 time Grand Slam Champion. She won the double  break point in deciding set and eventually won it 6-3.

Commenting about the match Williams said,"What a tough opponent today. She has so much energy. It was very difficult to win, but I'm very glad to be in the final tomorrow."
