For the 27th time in their career, and fifth time at the US Open, Serena Williams and Venus Williams face off. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:30am (AEST).

After her fourth round match win against Madison Keys, Serena is on a 32-match winning streak at Grand Slam level.

Her last loss was against Alize Cornet at Wimbledon in the third round last year.

Since then the numbers have been extraordinary, with four Grand Slams titles in a row, and 64 set wins of a possible 74.

Venus is looking to stop her sister from completing the calendar year Grand Slam.

After struggling in the opening two rounds, and just getting past Monica Puig and Irina Falconi, Venus has responded with some brilliant tennis.

A 6-3, 6-4 win over youngster Belinda Bencic was followed by a 6-2, 6-1 win over qualifier Anett Kontaveit in the last round.

Serena leads meetings between the two 15-11, and has dominated recent meetings, winning eight of the last 12 meetings, with three of those in finals.

At the US Open the record is 2-2, with Venus winning the first in 2001 and Serena the last in 2008.

The keys to both sisters’ game is their serve and power.

It promises to be a close match with both sisters aiming to win their home Grand Slam.

Prediction
Serena will start the favourite but it wouldn’t surprise me if Venus gets the upset. She can trouble Serena and win at least a set today.

Serena Williams 2-1
